I just need to know what to change. Thanks,Tim

easy as pye? get a 1 wire regulator , replace the one in the alt you have , providing it is a internal alt (72 & up) ,hook a wire from battery stud on alt direct to a power source like solenoid or pos. battery post of battery and eliminate ALL other wiring from the remote regulator to the old alt. VOILA, it is quick , easy & clean. only drawback is no idiot light.:laugh:
Even better than that.... check out the offering from M&H: http://www.wiringharness.com/ They make a modification harness for exactly this purpose and you get to keep all the lights. I thought it a bargain at $20. JMC
