If you use a 1-wire alternator you can eliminate the voltage regulator. There's an internal regulator in the alternator. You will need a "DA Plug". Patrick's has em.
There should be three cables running to your voltage regulator. You can just splice these all together.
The DA Plug should have a long yellow wire and a short red wire coming out of it. The red wire gets connected to the post on the alternator, and the yellow wire should go to the key switch. Without this, turning the key off won't shut off the engine.
Use a 1-wire alternator if possible. It will start charging at lower RPMs.
