OK I took my own advice and did a google search. I think I have found the
answer to my voltage reulator issue. I will try that out tomorrow
too.......................MO

Thanks Tom , that is a very good wireing diagram, and all who gave me
input. I think the ignition problem is solved. Thre clue was -the brown
wire to the ballast resister. I had checked that wire. It had a splice
terminal on the end and no other wire to the other end of the splice. No
power from it even with the ignition switch on. I thought maybe it only
had power when the starter was cranking, so I hooked up a remote starter
button--No Go. Then when I found out the ballast needed a brown wire to it
for sure. So--I wondered if the starter needed to be cranking with the
ignition switch. The wifey ran the ignition switch while I tested the
brown wire, and BINGO. --full 12 volts to it with the starter cranking.
Ran out of time so tomorrow I will hook everything up and test again.
Now to figger out the alternator and electronc regulator issue. I need a
simple wireing diagram like the one Tom posted, but for a electronic
regulator Any more input??Thanks .....................MO

Here's a link to the '65 B-Body wiring diagram.

Connection to the starter relay would be thru the bulkhead and ignition
switch.

This is on a 64 Fury 383 with cobbled up under hood wireing.
issue #1-points distributor-wireing to the input side of ballast
resister. We know that when engaging the starter, voltage to all systems
is reduced. However there is a wire that maintains full voltage even
when the starter is cranking . That wire needs to be on the input side
of the ballast resister, so that it gets full voltage even when
cranking. Where does that wire come from? Through the bulkhead or from
the starter relay or???
issue #2 fairly thin , chrome rectangular voltage regulator mounted on
the firewall with a 2 prong plug on the front side . No other wires.
Take off the plug and test both prongs on the regulator with the ign.
switch on , should one of the prongs have power to it? One prong goes
to a post on the alternator and the other prong goes to another post on
the alternator. No other wires to the alternator Shop manual wireing
diagram is too much for me to make out.
I THINK--the full time 12 volt wire to the ballast resister comes from
the starter relay, but I cannot find a ignition switched connection
that does not reduce voltage when cranking. HELP!!!......Thanks for any
input...................MO
