Re: Altenator conversion now overcharging help

This is how the wires are jumpered at the old voltage regulator.

It's brown and white together and red and blue together.
The white wire continues on to the alternator to the no.1 terminal and
the blue continues on to the no.2 terminal on the alternator.

I just eliminated all that and ran the brown wire straight from the firewall plug
to the no. 1 on the alternator and then ran a 12 gauge red wire from the alternator, battery, junction to the no, 2 terminal.

The wires with the fuses are for the battery gauge and they have to be connected on each end of the battery feed wire for the battery gauge to work.
