1960 Buicks came with a standard 35 Amp generator no 1102181 or 1102302 along with a 35 Amp regulator. Cars with A/C or provisions for future A/C came with a 45 Amp heavy duty generator no 1102197 along with a 45 Amp regulator.
The Standard Motor Products VR22 35 Amp regulator corresponds to the standard 35 Amp Buick regulator part nos 1119168, 1119299, or 1119242.
The SMP VR24 45 Amp regulator corresponds to the heavy duty Buick regulator part no 1119617 or 1119601.
The trick is to determine the Amp rating of the generators. The only way to go wrong is to install a 45 Amp regulator for use with a 35 Amp generator. If the generator has been replaced we can probably look up the part no on it to determine rating.
