thanks guys. now my dad is wiring the car to tidy it up since the motor is out. he has a brown wire that is part of the cars original wiring. he says it used to go to the voltage regulator. do any of you guys have any idea what that brown wire is for or could be? he says it goes from the dashboard out.

thanks for the help.
