Voltage Regulator Issues!!!!!!!

The harness is simple. If the car runs, there is likely NOT a short. What you have is three wires

1....The output wire goes from the alternator, through the bulkhead, through the ammeter, back out the bulkhead to the battery.

2...The green field wire is one wire, and only has two ends. One end is the alternator field terminal, the other end is the VR field terminal (screw terminal)

3...The blue IGN terminal (push on terminal) is branched off from the "ignition run" circuit.

So if you jumper the blue and green together, you are running full 12V to the field / brush terminal. you can hook that up and check voltage at the field terminal.

It used to work fine but i started noticing the lights pulsing and i think thats where i took a ****! Ok, i have the 2 FLD from a 73 dart because there wasnt one locally and i figured if it would be ok with a extra unused FLD, if i need one just like my old one i will. I looked for the black wire coming off the bulkhead into the battery but there isnt one hooked to the GROUND(black). I can follow it in there but does it come out in another spot??? Can i ground to the black side of the battery from the extra FLD like previously stated because That is where i got the multimeter set to 20 volts to actually move up past 12.56V while running. Without that wire hooked up from FLD to ground(BLACK) i didnt get any readings.

Here are a couple pics. I tried to move the regulator off the wall and onto the fender.
