Igniter 2 regulator issue

So I have a 1965 ford f100 with a 240 i6 I recently upgrade to an igniter 2 electronic ignition and noticed the regulator started to make a clicking sound. So my question is: how can I bypass the regulator? Or is there a modern regulator I could swap? Also, I found an alternator with an internal regulator, will that work?

I think the superior regulators from the later model F100's will swap in.

Help me out here NumberDummy.

Your ignition shouldn't have anything to do with voltage regulator as such. Possible ground issue?

Thanks for the help

Everything functioned normally when I had points. I should mention I upgraded the coil when I did the ignition. The problems have started with the ign /coil upgrade. How would I check for a ground problem?

I'd try a different regulator?

Any ideas about which one to buy? Should I go with a more modern swap since I have an upgraded ignition?
