here's the deal. i have a 73 super and the alternator went out. i purchased a new alternator that had an internal regulator, but the stock set up is with an external regulator. i got everything set up the way i was told and fired up the car. ran great. better than before. a day later a go to start up my car and the alternator light is on along with the brake light. they both stay on the entire time i drive. this isn't right. can anyone tell me how to properly wire up the new alternator with internal reg. instead of external. i must be wiring something wrong. if anyone one has had experience with changing alternators, please help me. other than that the car runs superb. thanks a lot.
