Can someone show me a circuit diagram for a change-over from the old 4 wire regulator, to the new 2 or 3 pin units. Where does each wire from the old layout go to?

John, I think he wants to keep the original alternator.
Ahh. I thought by "unit" he meant a 2 or 3 wire alternator, you interpreted it to mean a 2 or 3 wire voltage regulator? That will be a bit of a trick, since the Citroen alternator requires a full 4 wire regulator if you want to have a charge indicator.
Can you post your original article?
It's legible, but hard to make out some details. You could upload the pdf as a zip file as it should have a higher size limit. Or try changing the extension to an allowed type and then the downloader can save it as a pdf.
Sorry for the delay in replying - left my laptop at home!
I'm sorting out a car that has been assembled from some disparate parts that don't always match up...
I have a Ducellier 7530B alternator, but the regulator has gone walk-about... To my surprise, a replacement doesn't appear to be obviously available - apart from expensive exchange rebuilds.
I want to retain the dash charge light operation, so the Bosch RE55 ilk is not an option.
Where do I go from here... Is there nothing in the form of a "plug and play" regulator?

Actually, the charge lamp does work with my modification. The only thing that may not work is the starter interlock if it is a post -70 BVH. In that case you have to remove the instrument panel and ground the starter wand switch directly.
