I need a diagram because I'm using the ChevyDuty harness for 6 the volt system. Is there an easier way to do this? | | |

10 ga wire from BAT on alt to + on ammeter.
14 ga wire from R on alt to 2 on regulator.
14 ga wire from F on alt to F on regulator.
10 ga wire from GRD on alt to chassis ground.
Connect terminals 3 and 4 on regulator together and run 14 ga wire to ignition.

I scanned a diagram for you. Compare it to what you have. Wiring Diagram - Old Style Alternator Let us know what happens!
