Do I have to Run the Newer Alternator and regulator

[jefflock]

I purchased a new wiring harness from Year One for my 68 Dart. It is setup for electronic ignition and the 2 field alternator and electronic voltage regulator.
Can I do anything to it to allow me to run my old round back single field alternator and regulator or just upgrade to the newer style?
Thanks Jeff

No. If you have the old regulator, and most of them are electronic anyhow, you can cut the plug off for the "new" style regulator. I would leave pigtails so you can re-use it later.

Hook the two wires to your existing regulator. Should be green goes to field, blue, goes to the IGN terminal of the regulator. The field is the "screw" terminal and the IGN is the "quick connect"

Down at the alternator, you should have two "quick connectors" in the harness, a green and blue. Just hook the green up to the alternator field, and tape / safe off the blue. That is "switched" 12V IGN

Got it all installed and working fine. Just need to tidy up everything.
