ALTERNATOR OUTPUT
Here's how a '68 Dart alternator was wired from the factory.
The regulator allows current to flow through when it (the regulator) sees less than 14 volts at its 'ignition' connection.
Ignition meaning the ignition-run wiring. How it works is illustrated here.
Possibilities for power continuously flowing into the rotor include: regulator seeing low voltage due to resistance, and regulator getting bypassed (J2A wire connecting to the alternator field terminal somehow)
