Try asking an electric shop that services airplane mechanics.

 

Have you tried using the Denso dealer locator from the Denso site????

http://densoautoparts.com/where-to-buy.aspx

 

They don't even list that part as one of their own on their website....

Good grief!
You guys crack me up.
I typed in 126000-0400 denso regulator into google and this site popped up.
https://www.finditparts.com/products/2379264/denso-126000-0400
$22.84 IN STOCK.

You better hurry up and buy it, because if you don't I just may buy it and hoard the world supply. MUUUAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

 

Dude.. I ST the Ferrari Gods i googled the same thing yesterday. Now today it comes up.

Thanks though buddy!

I think i found one on ebay too but the description is different than the pic.. it says 12600-0700... the pic shows the 400... so i ordered it anyhow. Will see when it comes.

Sometimes you have to fool around the how the words are arranged to find what you are looking for.

 

I usually am a great Googler... but you get the 5 star google award today my friend!

I'd be surprised if that's actually a Denso made part. David, could you let us know when you have it in hand?

 

Go gettem... its a legit denso part!

Nice.

 

Schweet! Thanks for the update. Which amperage alternator does it fit?

Yeah, I know I should read back through the post, but right now I'm hungry...

 

Good question.. the Denso one. [emoji41]

Mine is a 93 speciale so i do need to confirm that its correct.

I have another coming from Ebay so hang tight... maybe ill fwd it to you.

Confirmed same size. Brushes look good. Little dirty.

At first i didnt think i had a brush cap... but i found it stuck to the cover. Btw found ernie's DIY on AutoDIY.com...which came up first on google today.. lol

What's the part number on your alternator? Apparently there were two Denso alternators fitted to the 348-- a 105 amp and a 140 amp (IIRC). No idea if they use the same regulator but in other such cases I've seen a different regulator part number for each version.

Thanks!

 

Not sure.. the only part number i can make out is 1557_5. .. i cant tell the blank number.

You have a list of part numbers?

According to Miro's posts in the 348 section they are:
105A Denso, p/n 148471 (or 155785), Denso Number 101211-5070
140A Denso, p/n 156235, Denso Number 101211-7580

Looks like you and I probably have the same 105 amp alt. Would you agree? If so, I'm gonna order a regulator from your source.

 

I would agree.. ill try to clean up the label a bit and see if i can make it cleaner... but for sure its not the latter part number.


Ok 355 fellows... go get that Denso regulator... if they don't have it, i do cuz i bought em all..... lol.

Actually just bought one extra.

I am half tempted to order an 87 supra alt though... just to see if it fits. Lol

Ordered. Shipping was painful, but if these are truly NLA it's good to have a spare. Maybe this means I won't have alternator problems.

Thanks to you for the info & Ernie for the find.

 

Agreed $10 is ridiculous

I did get 10% off with new cust code.

Let thou know about Ebay once i get it.. cheaper including shipping. Will post link if legit.

Arrgh. I missed the new customer code.

Tried to find something else to buy their site in hopes of getting free shipping but that site is kind of a mess.

 

The one i got from ebay was real denso too.

After I had a bad dream I forgot to tighten the Alt Tensioner pulley.... I put her up in the air and 10 minutes later confirmed it was just a stupid dream.

Fired her up, took her out for a drive and no issues thus far.

Let's hope the Denso VR does the trick.

Thanks for all the help and this great thread.
