    Try asking an electric shop that services airplane mechanics.

    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!!!!!!!

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

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

    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... ;)

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
