    i was having issues when i was wiring my volt gauge but i went out there today and pulled this wire out of my volt regulator( seen in the pic) when i pulled the wiring harness to paint the engine bay the wire fell out i put it back in the lowest hole of the vr but when i pulled the wire my volt gauge doesnt jump around when i have the key off and when the key is on it reads a solid 12 volts. can anyone tell me where this wire goes???

    Yellow wire

    I have a 73 wire drawing it show a heavy yellow wire that provides power to the headlight switch that comes off the starter relay and it shows a yellow wire that goes to the noise suppresor capacititor . There also appears to be a yellow wire that's attached to the fusible link between the alternator and the starter relay...........Hope that helps
