Electronic Ign/Hei/Ballast Delete Wiring?

I think the regulator sensing off the ignition is what messed with me

That is how it should be wired, and I hate to complicate this but MANY of these cars have a voltage drop problem which AFFECTS the voltage regulator, causing the battery to run "high."

In other words to the OP................It would be wise to consider using the two bulhead wires to trigger a relay, fused off the starter relay, and use that relay to feed your ignition, VR, and alternator field.
