Hi guys im after some help pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaasssssssssse

Im on a bit of a head scratcher with my S2 v8...its a 1965 iv done as a ground up rebuild and putting a v8 in and im not too ofee with electrics.iv got most of the original loom still sitting in situ and wanna splice that in with the wires on the v8...can anyone give me some guidance please. And i was told il now need to get rid of the voltage regulator??? what do i do with all the wires that connect to it???
Thanks in advance

Presumably you now have an alternator instead of a dynamo which will have its own voltage regulator built in. Not sure which wires go where 'cos I haven't got a s2 wiring diagram but the dynamo to alternator conversion is pretty common and I'm sure I've seen plenty of articles on how to do it - try Googling something like "Land Rover dynamo to alternator conversion" or similar. Don't forget you'll need to be -ve earth too. If the old control box still works they can be worth a few quid so don't trash it.

if its the origanel wiring loom you have refitted i would take it out and start a fresh
40 + year old wires arnt gonna be in good condition
you only need a few wires for the engine as long as its a carb unit not injection
and the lights are fairlly straight forward to
sit down with a big piece of paper ane draw a new wiring diagram get hold of a large spool of trailer 7 core wire to do the lights and a few other colord spools for the engine
make sure you use cable that is heavey enough tocope with the current and away you go, i rewired mine in a weekend and im crap with electrics

Yes, that's an option. The S3 petrol wiring diagram is pretty easy to follow.
