Hi All!

I'm still putting all the pieces together on my spitfire but I have a
target date of this Saturday to finally get it running (after 6 months!)

I have this leftover electronic piece that I think is a regulator of
some sort to stablize charging voltage at the battery. I'm having a
hard time using the hayes manual electrical diagrams, however, to
figure out where exactly this piece goes.

If you don't mind, click this url and take a look:

(I may be off base here)

Any ideas on where exactly in my ignition system I should wire this
baby in?

Also... (I have wired the coil to receive 12 volts at cranking and 6
volts while running using the resistance wire I found on the car ... I
think this is what my Hayes manual says is right ... but the manual
leaves a lot to be desired on clarity) Does this sound correct?

Thanks,
--Rick
