No, I didn't hang myself with my 71 wiring harness, but thanks for the concern!! I STILL AIN'T GOT IT RIGHT!! The 4 post voltage regulator diagram that Paul Funk referred me to on July 28 is the one I have. However, I still can't get the harness right. Hoping if I lay out what I've got, someone will see the error of my ways. There are 4 wires connected to the VR. The top is yellow and is attached to the "F" post on the VR, and runs to the "F" post on the SG. The middle is a grey wire and is attached to the "BATT" post on the VR and runs to the top post of the starter sylanoid. The bottom wire is green, is attached to the "L" post on the VR and runs to the "A" post on the SG. There is a pink wire attached to the "G" post on the VR (this is the post on the back of the VR), and it runs to the bottom post of the sylanoid. There is a heavy red wire that runs from the "A" post on the SG and is attached to the bottom post of the sylanoid. There are two orange wires, and they run from the foot pedal safety switch, with one connected to the side post of the sylanoid, and the other attached to the ignition. A green wire runs from the ignition to the top post of the sylanoid. A black wire runs from the ignition to the condensor. Finally, a heavy red wire runs from the top post of the sylanoid to the "+" post on the battery. At this point, when I attach the battery, the starter engages without turning the key or holding down the clutch pedal. As always, any help appreciated.
