318 Alternator Swap

I swaped out the alternator on my Trojan F-26 to an internal regulator type and forgot to take out the external regulator, and subsiquently burnt up my resistor, coil and ext. reg. I replaced all, but now have a wire just hanging out that used to go to the ext. reg. and the oil pressure swith. I asked Napa what i should do with it and they said cut off the wire coming from the oil pressure switch to the ext. reg and attatch it back to the other side of the oil pressure switch. Does this seem feesable, I dont know anything about wiring. Also, before i noticed the resistor burnt up i was having trouble with it dying when it warmed up out on the water, does this seem like it could be the resistors fault, or are there other things i should check also?
Thanks for all the help.
