I meant to say i ended up using a 30amp regulator from a bug and it seems to work.

You mean the new electronic style 30amper? That's the one I'd use.

I wanted a new one but the one from a 64 bug seemed to work well. So i'm sticking with it.
Whats the main difference between the new style and old style 30amp regulators..

The new ones are ugly as hell but work a lot better - all solid state electronics, and deliver a nice solid output voltage. No sticking points, no overcharging battery, etc, all of which I experienced at various times over the years with the original type regulators. I find my generator brushes lasting considerably longer than they did with the old style regulators too.
