Question on internal VR alternator conversion

Some time ago someone posted some info on how to convert from the external voltage regulated alternator to a later model alternator with the VR internal. I can't seem to find the post and was wondering if anyone has the info handy. Basically I think it was making up to jumpers for the connection to the external regulator, but I don't recall which wires to which.

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks.

Scott

Thanks for the response. The only thing is, I found two sources on the net which show 1 to 4, 2 to 3. Any ideas on what goes to what?

Thanks again.
