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

Too many things jumped at once.
1. Jumper just the regulator.
2. Then jumper ignition run from the ballast to the regultor IGN terminal.
The coil side of the ballast is low voltage when the engine is running. The full power side usually is the junction of two blue wires, or a blue with white striped blue. '62 could be different but I'm pretty sure I checked that in the factory diagram.
Ran new wire from alt field to reg...no change
