Motor is a 72 2.2 that has bumped out to a 2.5. It has an internal regulator. Can i use this without and external regulator or do i need to convert. The motor is carbed and there is no cicuit board in the car at all. MSD 6AL, Soft Touch Rev Controller, MSD Tach Adapter all already installed. Not sure how much of the wiring harness that came with the motor I need to save. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

You have two choices. If you have your original relay board with the regulator attached you simply plug the triple connector from the alternator to the board. Or if you are not using the board you attach the female connector from the alternator directly to the regulator. However, if you do so you must reverse the red and green wires (brown ground stays in the middle).

Soooo.... How does that hook up the generator light in the insturment cluster?

The alternator won't charge if the light is not in the circuit (the light provides the exciter voltage to start the alternator charging), and the relay board connects the charge light to the Voltage regulator.
