Kevins set up with a fuse in the gutted Voltage regulator can, i assume was done because of convenient location of the VR can which means ez fuse replacement if necessary. Slick idea.

However, if i read my 56 manual right then the OEM set up allows the battery to feed the 'rest of the car' directly from the starter hot post that the battery cable connects to. So kevin must have had to run 2wo wires. One across engine compartment from starter to fuse in dummy VR can and another wire from the fuse back across engine compartment to the original OEM wire that fed the 'rest of the car'.
