Voltage Regulator Bypass

vynn3 said

Two questions:

does that mean that I just connect the blue and green wires that currently go into/out of the factory regulator together?

My second question is, can the current green wire to the factory alternator be used as the switched 12v source for the Denso unit? (I understand the the "sense" wire will be connected to the starter relay along with the larger charge wire.)

You guys are correct. I did this to my '67 Belvedere using a parts-store alternator for a 1991 Toyota 4Runner 4-cylinder (they have a v-belt pulley).

I even spliced the factory wiring into a Toyota repair connector very much like the following:

I'm assuming one of the recommendations you have followed is bypassing the factory dash ammeter. I did that to my car also, and used the 12g black wire from the factory alternator charging lug as the sense wire.

It sounds like you're going in the right direction, & I'm sure it'll work nice when you're done.
