Racemate alternator wiring

[Tdbengry]

The ford solenoid is wired in for the exciter on the water pump alternator combo and also as a jump terminal or push button start etc. it’s off when the key is off and only jumped to the starter when the key is on the problem I’m having is the old electrical for the old alternator is having a parasitic drain on the battery so I’m not sure what to do with that or how I can eliminate the voltage regulator

Buy a internal alternator and do away with the external one.
The search feature is worth it's weight in gold for this kind of stuff. Mad electric is a good read on changing it out also. The electrical section has 1000's of threads on doing this also.
