OE part #?

Looking for the Ford OE part # for the Alternator Regulator with the Blue and/or Red printing on cover.

According to '81 Ford EVTM: the Blue printed piece is used with factory equipped Ammeter
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Black printed with Alternator warning light
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the Red with either/both

Anyone with an '81 and a factory-equipped Ammeter: what is the part # for your Regulator?

Thanks

Dave

My 1981 F100 has the factory guages which include the ammeter. I just ordered a new
regulator for it from TitusWill Ford parts. The PN for the new one is FOPZ10316A. I
think this is the Motorcraft replacement for the original. The color of mine is blue.
If you want the original number I will try to locate the regulator and see what number
is on it. NumberDummy might have more information for you.

Alternator regulators:

1963/73: C3SZ10316A (black cover) which was replaced by D4TZ10316A (blue cover) in 1974, used thru 1981.

In 1982, Ford replaced D4TZ10316A with an ELECTRONIC solid state regulator = E2PZ10316A This regulator has a flat aluminum cover with MOTORCRAFT embossed on it.

In 1990, Ford replaced E2PZ10316A with FOPZ10316A This is the current part number and looks the same as E2PZ.

MSRP: $50.93 / FTE sponsor PARTSGUYED.COM price: $27.50.

Thanks for the info. I was entertaining the notion of making the warning light system into an ammeter system, but have since abandoned that idea. Way-way too much trouble. I'll remove the ammeter from the cluster and install a voltmeter. Much easier and better information. I appreciate your help.
