I am fitting a Dynamator to my V8. The wiring from this to the battery needs upgrading. I am fusing the output cable where the regulator was and then running bigger cable to the ammeter then to battery/solenoid connection.
I had thought one of the heavy cables from B terminal off the regulator would got to the ammeter but I did a continuity test and one wire goes to ignition switch and the other goes to lighting switch so i don't know where to run the new cable for the charging circuit as neither of these cables are the same heavy gauge as the output from terminal B?
The workshop wiring diagram shows a direct link from regulator B terminal to the ammeter but I cannot trace this at all?
Anyone done this..

Re: Dynamator wiring question
The SP250 is wired as you described, I did change to a Dynamator and added a "dummy" control box basically a 40 amp fuse. but can't recall how I completed the wiring. Give me a couple of days and I'll physically look at the wiring on the car and confirm what I did.
Re: Dynamator wiring question
I followed the instructions attached and all has worked well. I did change the pulley on the Dynamator to increase speed [smaller diameter].

Good Luck
