MSD 6013 AND VOLTAGE REGULATOR
« on: August 08, 2013 - 05:59:18 PM »
ANYONE KNOW WHAT VOLTAGE REGULATOR SHOULD BE USED WITH THE MSD PART# 6013 AND RUNNING A CARB SETUP ON A 6.1 HEMI?

On my 6.1 setup, I just used a stock 5.7/6.1 alternator and a stock 1972 Mopar electronic voltage regulator.  Be sure your wiring is beefed up to handle all the additional current, in particular if you're using a stock dash you'll want to bypass the ammeter.

I'm running a FAST XFI system which has a tach output wire that I ran directly to my tach.  I would imagine the MSD system has either a tach output or an adapter harness that supplies the tach output.
