Headlight relay
Does anyone know where I can find the original style headlight relay or know the AC Delco/ Delco Remy part number? It's on a 72.
Thanks, |

Re: Headlight relay
Do you mean the high/low beam foot switch?
There is no headlight relay from the factory. PS Welcome aboard!

Re: Headlight relay
That is the voltage regulator for the charging system. There is some recent discussion including adjustment and quality of replacements here http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=820074. It's possible to clean it up and paint it and restore the interior by burnishing the contacts and adjusting.

Re: Headlight relay
Thanks for all the replies, not having a problem with lights, just doing some clean up under the hood.

Re: Headlight relay
glad everything is working but you can get rid of the regulator by going with a more modern alternator if you really wanted it clean

Re: Headlight relay
I bought a new voltage regulator, from Napa, and and swapped the cases and reinstall on truck. Just trying to keep the truck looking natural.
