It must be an aftermarket regulator because OEM regulators were not adjustable. Engine running for several minutes, adjust the regulator for 14.7 volts across the battery.

I don't know but here is my guess. Attach voltmeter to battery and start engine. Turn screw and watch voltmeter. Adjust to 14.5
Let me know how it worked.
