vonguinness,

I you want to call me at 518-732-7989 (Castleton), I would be pleased to either talk you through your wiring problem and/or come by and set up your wiring. Most likely it will be a simple matter of wiring your alternator through your ammeter to your battery (and bypassing the original voltage regulator).

Or, post here the year/brand/style of alternator and people will try to help you get this correctly wired.
