Standard Ignition Voltage Regulator P/N:VR-159
Standard Motor Products
Standard Ignition VR-606 voltage regulator for the 1950-1951 Ford Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.7L, the 1952-1953 Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.5L, the 1954-1956 Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.6L and other vehicles controls the voltage that the charging system sends to the battery. It is an electronic regulator in the starting and charging system.
A charging warning light, dim or flickering lights, or a battery that keeps running low can mean the regulator is failing. Before you replace it, rule out a weak battery, a loose or corroded wiring connection and the generator, since any of them can look the same at the dash.
The 1950-1951 Ford Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.7L, the 1952-1953 Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.5L and the 1954-1956 Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.6L are all covered by this regulator, which also fits the 1950-1951 Ford Country Squire 6-cylinder 3.7L, the 1952-1953 Country Squire 6-cylinder 3.5L, the 1954-1956 Country Squire 6-cylinder 3.6L, the 1954 Mercury Custom V8 4.2L, the 1955 Custom V8 4.8L, the 1956 Custom V8 5.1L and many other Ford and Mercury models. A 1954-1956 Country Sedan 6-cylinder 3.6L takes one regulator. If your car is not named here, open the "Vehicles it fits" section to check your exact model and engine.
