I am in the electrical install planning stage for an RV7A. I will follow the
z-13/8 model.
Now for the question???The plan suggests using a Ford regulator (VR166) on
the main alternator. What has been the good/bad/ugly of this by those that
may have used it.

My $12 VR166 type regulator from Advance Auto Parts has worked perfectly for 3 years and 335 hours on my Z-11 RV-6A with B&C L-40 alternator, separate LVWM and Bob's OVP. You can see the installation here:

It's mounted on the battery holddown strap so it's near battery temp, and painted in red crinkle paint to match the valve covers- (oooooo!)

An earlier version of Z-13/8 included the B&C regulator with built-in OVP,
and warning lights. Not sure why the change - perhaps to provide a less
expensive option, and/or to avoid appearances of B&C favoritism?
Regardless, the B&C regulator is an option worth considering.
