6 volt regulator/relay

I need to find a regulator for '33 Terraplane 8. I believe it is actually a relay. Any suggestions where I can find one?

Try talking to this vendor for a new one:

It is strictly not just a relay, but a cut-out, with conjointly wound coils, one very light gauge, and one very heavy gauge.   The light gauge is  connected to the generator at one end and ground the other.   And the  heavy gauge one is  connected to the generator , and the other end to a normally open set of  contact points.  when  the generator starts charging the  relay energises, closing  the points, and the output contact is  connected to the battery (ammeter).   When  the generator stops charging, the battery starts discharging into the generator, and the reverse current  causes the  contacts to open.

I has three terminals, one operates the light on the dash.

That could be difficult to obtain. It would be easier, and better for your battery if you converted the generator to two-brush and used a proper regulator.

Thank you.
