This is definitely sound advice!

It is not advisable to put a "golden screwdriver" in the regulator to "adjust it"
as it is set properly at the factory.

I would bet dollars to donuts that the one(s) he purchased on Amazon are NOT authentic Delco-Remy but offshore brand which I'm sure we've all seen that the quality control of some of that stuff is sub standard...let alone most of what is reproduced these days even by a reputable manufacturer.

It used to be standard practice to have to adjust your regulator a couple times a year to account for different temperates for year round use depending on where you live or even do an initial setting if you lived in an area that had a tempuratre far outside their "controlled environment" where they do an initial setup. Delco-Remy issued service bulletins from the 50's through the 60's detailing exactly how to do it which makes it to the contrary they would advise against it...
There's no doubt there's a wealth of knowledge here and I'm not picking on you specifically Ol'George (I've read many excellent posts by you) you just had the most to say but you guys are SO dismissive of advice around here! Maybe because you're set in your own ways or because it's out of your comfort zone(s) but seriously guys I haven't been finding this forum to be overly warm or welcoming, who's going to end up carrying the torch if you don't give people a chance or can even muster up some recognition of trying to make a contribution?
It's not all about the present, the future of the forum needs to be considered to keep the standards you uphold intact, have a think on that.
