I've not come across a system that uses two regulators from one source of generation.
From the information and the direction above it sounds to me like you are trying to mix and match two systems. If the car was originally fitted with a dynamo - a heavy lump which uses brushes on a commutator producing DC {direct current} electrickery - then there was almost certainly an external regulator. If you now have a modern alternator - a brushless system producing AC {alternating current} electrikery - then in 9 times out of 10 you will have a unit with a built in rectifier that means whilst AC is initially produced it leaves the unit as a DC supply.
In the second case the original "regulator" is no longer needed. There are loads of "how to convert" examples on the internet - if you look above I think Ron has provided one of them...
