What was the reason for going external regulator? By going to a dual
alternator can't I just switch one off if it goes bonkers (or have an
overvoltage relay do that for me)?

I plan on wiring my a/c according to the
Aero-Electric
Z-14 drawing (dual batteries, dual alternators).  Only problem is Bob
Nuckols discourages builders using internally regulated alternators on
a/c.  So, I plan on removing the internal regulator and using common Ford
electronic voltage regulators (VR-166) in their place.  I paid
approx. $100
ea. (without cores) for these units from an auto-electric
specialty shop in
town.
