I have seen the alternator tied into the positive post on the solenoid but I don't think that is the correct way to do it.... The alt. doesn't get the correct accumulated load reading from a direct connection to the positive cable, so it doesn't charge correctly. The main panel wire should be connected up by the voltage regulator.....

Please don't take this as I am questioning your info or your knowledge. But curious, If all that goes to the starter soleniod is the purple wire and the battery cable, how does the fuse panel and the ignition get it''s power? Where does the alternator go to? I have switched to an internal regulated alternator, so I am just not sure I understand. Sorry if this seems I am questioning you, I am not. I am a weekend warrior and trying to do this with my 16yo son. We are both a bit frustrated.
