Thanks again 3B and Leon... I managed to wire it up and test to find that I have 15+ volts charging so I know it's charging...I just need to disconnect the old voltage regulator and complete the system so the amp meter works on the dsah...fortunately for me it is at paint now getting painted and will finish it when I get it back next week.
3B..you said "When I replace a generator with an alternator I remove the armature and battery wires from the old generator regulator, and wire them together and insulate them. Then you can use the old armature wire to attach to the alternator output terminal, that way your ammeter still reflects the charging/discharging of the battery." So, am I connecting the battery wire from alternator to the battery wire from where it attaches to the old regulator? I currently have it attached to the battery itself. Amp meter on dash reads the wrong way but it is charging.
Thanks again guys for the help. Steve in Idaho
