62 Serires 80 with a 348
I read about twenty pages of search and nothing seemed like my situation.
First off the alternator would was bad so I switched it out for a later model one I had sitting in the shop. The old one was externally regulated correct. The new one is internally regulated. I now only have the big wires going back to the battery and into the cab. Nothing off the plug. seems to be working and the volt meter seems to work.

Now the ignition. I spent several hours trying to chase wires around to get power to the coil. I finally ran a hot wire from the key to the coil. Is this a bad thing to do? Will I burn up my coil from having too much power to it? Near as I can tell there is a dark green wire that goes to the starter that is supposed to power the coil or something.
