Figured out the problem, the '61 dash wiring didn't have the resistance wire circuit for the '63 external regulator wiring. Once i go to the bottom of the problem i tried to make my own patch, and smoked out the regulator. Went with the internally regulated, single wire alternator. Took the front wiring harness and stripped out the un-needed wires, re-taped and have half the bulk with just the horn relay

Then i drove her around all afternoon for the longest driving session with the new engine, trans, suspension and brakes.
