I bought a pigtail with the correct resistor wired in to it and spliced it to my harness. It was pricey at $20 but I've had no troubles with it.

The thing that confused me is the conversion write up for the most part converts you to the internally regulated alternator that was used prior to the serp. style alt you need. Then you need the pigtail I bought to use the newer alt. I just eliminated the middle man and soldered the pigtail to my harness and it worked. PM later and I'll give you my number if you wanna holler at me.
