The field windings were disconnected from the third brush and run to the regulator F (FLD) terminal. A wire was run from the generator terminal to the G (ARM) terminal on the regulator and a wire was run from the B (BAT) terminal to the battery through the junction box on the firewall. The regulator was hidden under the car or mounted on the firewall if you did not care if anyone knew.

I want to put a mechanical voltage regulator on my car as you describe in your post. What would you suggest as the best way to run the wire from the 3 rd brush out of the generator?
