Alternator replacement

["Steve Lindquist" <lindquistse@charter.net>]

Hello list,
 
I have a Lucas 15 AC Alternator on my TR250, with an external 4 wire
regulator.  The bearings were growling and I purchased a rebuilt Lucas
15ACR
Alternator ( 5 terminal) to replace it.  Has anyone done this
conversion?  
 
The Dan Masters book describes a conversion to a GM alternator where the
NR and NG  wires are spliced together, and the NY wires are spliced
together, by passing the external regulator.   
 
Any thoughts?
