Alternator conversion

Hey there.I am new to this forum so please excuse me if this subject has been over discussed....
I have converted my '59 BE to a modeern single wire alternator and to Negative ground for various reasons. Has anyone here done this that can explain how the wiring would go thru the original regulator? Or how to bypass it. I think I have answered my own question here while writing this. Just running straight to the fuse block should suffice as my alternator has an internal regulator?

Hi CP,
You'll probably get a better answer in the Spridget Forum. I'm not sure what the wiring differences are from the big Healeys, but the ignition switch gets its power from one of the brown wires from the regulator, as well as the headlight circuit. Going from the alternator straight to the fuse box would entail a lot of extra wiring mods, at least on the 3000s.
