I think because the regulator is internal that part of it is not so critical like it was on the others where the regulator had to be grounded to the alternator.

I am using a CS130 without the resistor, just the indicator lamp to the L. Apparently the alternator life may be compromised but it has been on for about three years now and working good. I'll have to find the time to parallel in a resistor.
