So having got a drawing, thanks Shaun , of wiring of alternator and bypass of the voltage regulator i got to it .took the innards out of the voltage regulator and put a fuse holder under the cover then soldered th different terminals together to emulate the wiring diagarm and ran them thru fuse to give me another layer of protection .this way it looks more original and simple...
Car runs like a champ,hopefully it will go to cars and coffee tomorrow.......thanks to all those who gave some input....

So as i get back to the moggy travellor and wiring issues .after staring at wiring diagram and wires in car by running a hot lead from starter solenoid brown terminal to the fuse holder on switch side all my circuits that were not working ig ,lights ,fan ,etc came on .switch seems good .
Question, the brown and blue wire I'm assuming should be hot at all times ,where is the source of that is it the voltage regulator.....as I am converted to alternator can any one tell me which wires connect to what when bypassing the regulator as that is my source of problem reminder please as the other moggy was my inspiration but wire colors are different between 60 and 71....appreciate imfo.might have shorted

Have a question ,alternator on the travellor ,the wiring is different to lizzie as it said lucas type alternator ,this one has two spade connectors but also has a post connection below is the post connection a direct to battery or to the starter switch..it didn't charge when only spades were connected.any thoughts as the other style alternator is not available very easily and has gone thru roof with tariffs and shipping.....cover is on as threat of rain storm imminent.....

So after a wet week today didn't seem good morning for cars and coffee as was very damp and cloudy early.figured I'd get some jobbies done new hinges for dodge tailgate as early trucks had smaller hinges which wouldn't fit, and fit the mirrors that extend for hauling as one of mine was broken and could not locate any parts to replace motor inside.
All going well and passenger side fixed all problems with old so now onto driverside.its quite a job but eventually it went together ,plug in wires and now passenger not working either

Chased tail only to find fuse blown after lot of diagnosing and hooking wires to original turns out the motor is shorting ...informed ebay and for time being i can set it manually .quality control is not there anymore ...several hours wasted fiddling and I'm going to have to change it again...seems this is par for course now......have to check everything off car before taking apart to save time and frustration

Relaxing finally at mopar fall fling in Woodley park .so as we got off freeway down here in vannuys we started to here a wooshing which was the water steaming .got in park and deposited radiators contents on parking lot .after it cooled we topped up and went in ...noticed a bolt missing from header .they typically go into the water jacket ....so thought we knew problem after buying bolt in swap meet the truth was revealed there is a freeze plug behind the exhaust manifold which had failed trip to autozone and some metal putty to bodge and get us home ...waiting for it to harden ...then a test and if it fails I have to go with ian to pick up truck and trailer to tow her home ..
Fingers crossed..

Out tovcars and coffee at the Reagan library in simi.valley
First long distance drive started running rough and couldn't get a good charge from alternator. All gears worked except first which would pop out as i got to point of shifting to second .we were ther early but I'd left my phone at home on charger .Trevor took his ranchero and took these pics to remember our success. Lots new hobbies to do. Ran better on drive home...no big hills
