I'm still dealing with electrical problems, on My 65 Valiant. --- I plan to switch to a post 1970, flat back, alternator, with a external, solid state, voltage regulator. Since the alternator will have 2 field wires, I've been told that I can simply connect each of the 2 wires to the field posts, on the alternator, (1 wire is already in the wiring harness, from the old set-up) then connect the 2 wires together, at a point prior to the connector at the voltage regulator. The regulator is a VR706 type (Ign. & fld. connectors only). -- My questions are -- (1) Is this true ? -- (2) Will this cause any problems ? -- (3) Will this allow Me to take full advantage ( steadier lights etc.) of the switch to the newer alternator. -- I assume that the new alternator will be 78 or 80 amps vs. 60 amp on the old, pre 70, 1 field unit.
