Just remember that there are two different items discussed here. The Constant Voltage Regulator for the gauges and the Voltage Regulator for the charging system. The latter is the one responsible for the ammeter's wild swinging. A solid state voltage regulator can be found at O'Reiley's or AutoZone for a very reasonable price. I've got one in the 66 Mustang and will do the same for the T-Bird when the original fails. Many folks like to take the cover from an original and place it on the new electronic unit to ensure the proper look under the hood.
Now I've beaten that horse, I also remember someone mentioning a solid state CVR. That may have been on another forum so your best bet would be Google.
