I bought a few of those from GM a few years ago in the AC/Delco packaging.

Advantages/disadvantages vs the stocker?

about a year ago i did a series of tests on those to compare them to the stock reg-------it does have some different characteristics-------i was attempting to see if i should use them or not-------to make accurate measurements i used the same tranny and set it up on a test fixture------i could change the part out in about a half hour and have it running again------i did tests with several different springs/spacers/boost vaves etc all with the stock reg vs that unit------if i can remember next time i am at the shop i will look up the data and post it------there are some things that you can do with the stock reg that you cannot do with this unit or the pressure pegs at 300+-----only thing i do remember is that when it was all done i felt i could get just as good performance from the stock unit with the right mods................RC

All I can remember is I had a pump buzz issue (regulator valve vibration) and Art Carr sent me one of those regulator valves and it cleared the problem.

From the picture, that looks to be my part, hence the color. PM Sent

That would be some good info!!I believe i pulled one of these outta a customers unit couple years ago and put a stocker back in it,I had no idea what it was.

spool

Couple years ago I compared this spool to a stock spool. I believe if you measure from the end down to the flange (the shoulder where the reg. spring seats) It is longer than a stock one, which would in effect make the spring stronger. Same as shimming the spring.

It also has a different orientation of the lands which will also affect pressure.

it does cure pump buzz------but there is a simple mod that can be done to the stock reg to eliminate that as well..........RC

IIRC you grind a flat on one of the lands,this gets rid of the buzz and provides full time convertor lube.

That valve was designed by Dean @ Translab.When you google him he comes up but not the valve,only some awd shift kits he made as well.He must have closed down.I saw him about a year back on the camaro forums somewhere.
