I have carburetors, no heater, and an aftermarket fuel pump on its own relay from the battery.

What do I need to do, to get rid of the relay board all together, and to simplify the wiring?

I'm running an internal voltage regulator style alternator from a Volvo. (although I'm still running the board) I like the board for the ease of being able to simply unplug the harness when removing the engine. Eventually I'll get different plugs.

It's a Bosch. Of course mine is on a 928 engine. If I have time I'll see if there is a way to use the bosch on the type IV. This will allow the elimination of the "Governor.

If you are running an internally regulated alternator and the relay board how did you bypass the external regulator on the board? Just wondering because I am getting ready to put a high amp alt from a newer VW and they are all internally regulated. I would like to keep the board for now for your reasons and some others.

With the regulator inside the alternator you need just two connections. The heavy output wire can go to the starter post like it does now or you can run it directly to the battery. The other wire is for the warning light and gets connected to the wire at T14/2 on the relay board. Remove the old alternator with it's harness and the voltage regulator from the board.
