Converting an external regulated alternator to a 12si internal regulated model

I have a 69 Vista Cruiser with a 350 rocket and just purchased a 100 amp internal regulated alternator. Does anyone have a wire digram or could tell me the steps to convert from an external regulated alternator to internal?

I believe M & H makes an adapter kit to convert your existing harness to work with the internal regulated alternator. You can check it out on their website at wiringharness.com. I believe the part number you would need is 27555. It is listed for $19.00 and they have a picture of the kit so you can see what it looks like.

thanks for the link but it doesn't look like it will work with my Vista, I attached a few pics of what I believe is my external voltage regulator and the plugs seem to be different from all adapters that I have found. Am i an idiot and just looking at the wrong thing?

You are showing a picture of the horn relay. I believe the regulator should be on the fire wall.

Look at this, it's kind of hard to see cause its upside down and I had to make it small to put it on here. The horn relay is the black box at the bottom and the regulator is at top right.
