i didnt read the entire thread but if you use an 81-88 alternator, all it need is a 12v for it to start charging and i recommend mechanical oil pressure and water temp as well as a volt meter. relying on 40 year factory gauges is very risky. if you need help with wiring pm me ur #

81-88 alternator requires a 12v for it to start charging so you can ditch the stock alternator wire...Or run jumper wires on the regulator plug and use a test light to find a 12v on the alternator plug. the only factory wire i used is the water temp gauge but i dont rely on it; i have aftermarket gauges. i dont use oil pan sensor and such but if i will look into them.

Why not upgrade to a 86-88 s4 alt? Just 1 wire in and 1 out. You can ditch the external regulator and you'll be getting a 70 amp alt. very easy job as I've done it on both my Rx2s and my Rx3.
Make sure you grab the plug-in off the s4 alt if you get it from the junkyard. Snip the wire a few inches back from it to give some room to strip and solder etc.
