About Wilton Auto Electric

This whole thing started in 2000 when the voltage regulator in my sports car quit. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get that unit adjusted to operate to my satisfaction and never did get it to work like I thought it should. Finally I said to myself that I can do better than that with a solid-state unit.

I'm a semi-retired electrical engineer and classic car enthusiast, so I set out to design a new and better regulator. After about a year breadboarding and trying different circuits, I finally got a voltage regulator to work, but then realized that I should put a current limiter in it. That was a bit trickier but I got one to work that met my standards. I used all top quality parts, no effort was made to reduce costs. For my car the best was none too good.

I built one up and put it in my car. I found that it worked very well and when I mentioned it to one of my friends he asked if I would build one for him. I did and it is still in his car working well. As they say, "the rest is history".
