62 Valiant 200 / 170 cuin /6 - Odd smell - then dead battery

At the risk of throwing too much info.
A connection from the low voltage side of the regulator will make the regulator act as if the system voltage is low.
The regulator will then let power through to the rotor all the time until it (the regulator) sees 14 to 15 Volts which means the alternator is producing power at 16 Volts or higher.
