A 12 volt draw on battery from a one wire alternator
Quick update and question. Should I run a wire from the Alt fld to the voltage regulator or just ground that field?
I don't know what you ended up with
.....Your alternator has one or two field connections? ONE means the field is grounded, and to use a 69/ earlier regulator
TWO field connections means use a 70/ later "flat" regulator like you showed in one photo
THIS GOD DAM SOFTWARE DID IT AGAIN!!! HOW DO I EDIT THIS CRAP WHEN I CANNOT SEE THIS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And of course what you started with is an aftermarket thing hooked to the alternator
SEE THIS!!!!!! THIS IS YOUR DAMN NEW IMPROVED SOFTWARE!!!!!

"I think??" you are using the 70/ later regulator and an isolated field alternator (two field terminals?)
Then this is the basic diagram. Again, the VR flange MUST BE grounded well
The important thing here is "IGN 1" (ignition 1) which is your ignition "run" power coming FROM the ignition switch. This is the dark blue that ORIGINALLY fed your old regulator AND the ballast resistor. THAT power goes as shown on the diagram to the regulator terminal marked "I". NOTICE that also branches off and feeds either of the two field terminals
The "F" from regulator goes to the remaining field terminal
