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

Just for laughs, the update is that the new Echlin regulator also vaporized a (the other one) wire lead to the coil after a few days... No idea what is actually going on yet, but I just took it apart and replaced the dang wire, and taped up everything that might possibly be able to accidentally ground to the body (one of the spade connectors was bent back towards the firewall, but why would't that have blown it immediately?) .
So far, so good, been a few hundred miles now. I suppose I'll just rebuild and tape the old one too, and keep it in the glove box for now.
