I read you have an alternator with external voltage regulator. Not a generator. Either way..... Buy a Delco rebuilt 10si alternator and get rid of all that wiring, Delcotron alternator and voltage regulator. Hook up two wires and you are all fixed for about $50. Don't play around with old technology in this area.
Your battery will not last at 17+ volt charging.
