Does anybody know this exists for my '69 W200 / 383 ? My old mechanical one just died Wednesday (in the charge position, of course) and I have a solid-state one in my Polara which has been good for a long time, so I wanted to get one for the truck too. Haven't been able to find one so far

Because after the stock one in my truck died after 50 years, I replaced it with a standard mechanical one and it lasted a couple years and about 5000 miles. They're all made in China nowadays, too. I could try NOS, but they are all as old as me now...
Meanwhile the solid-state one in my Polara, in addition to fixing the dash/headlight pulsation problem (not an issue in the PW) has worked well for 8 or 10 years and maybe 50,000 miles?
Seems like it's worth a try, anyway? I have a mechanical one on order, if I can find a solid-state I will stick it in the truck and put the mechanical one in the glove box, just in case.
