<VV> Query re: voltage regulator

[Eric S. Eberhard]

My Spyder has a 35 amp generator (relatively rare, standard is 30 
amp).  The regulator died and I put another in.  It died.  I am on 
#3.  Then I saw on ebay and ad for NOS regulator for 35 amp and other 
for 30 amp by the same seller.

Is there a difference in the regulators?  Is that why mine died (as 
opposed to being old used ones I had in the barn for years)?  What 
would happen if the 35 amp regulator was used on a 30 amp system?  I 
have not noticed much better charging, if any, with the 35 amp (the 
dash light still glows faintly at night with heater etc. on) ... is 
that the fault of the regulator?

Who knows a lot about regulators?  Pipe up!

PS -- nobody is allowed to bid on that regulator :-)
