6 volt alternator question

[Tmwalcott]

I am installing a PowerGEN 6 volt alternator into my dad’s 1955 ford Customline. I’ve disconnected the voltage regulator wires. I was wondering if I can disconnect the wire coming off the light switch that went out to battery post on voltage regulator? Also was wondering if I can hook a wire from PowerGEN to the power side of horn relay? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

A few years ago I installed the Powergen 6v into my 1955 Fairlane which is pretty much in stock condition. To keep the powered items working that were connected through the voltage regulator, I just disconnected the wires from the Voltage regulator that went to the old generator. I tied the new alternator in with a heavy gauge cable to the starter solenoid. This then ties into the heavy wire that feeds through the ignition, and back to the voltage regulator which power the horn and all. Hope that helps some.
