alternator regulator wiring questions

I converted my 64 econovan from generator to alternator
to make it easy on me i got one of those falcon regulators that mounts on the back of the alternator with red/bat,green/fld,yellow/sta and black to ground
It was working good for a while(couple of month),by the way I installed an isolator for a second battery coupleof weeks ago
Now the battery is drained over night (3 amps current drain)
I believe the regulator is kaput
There is no wiring hook up, so can somebody tell me were the I,A,S and F terminals of the ford regulator go to (like F-field ,S-stator on the alternator etc.)and alternator wire ,too

the new regulator I got doesn't work do you mean the "I" terminal of the regulator has to be hooked up ? Like an exciter for the regulator to be engaged?
maybe you could give me a short instruction or refer me to a set up ?

yes the i side of the regulator is hooked to the accessorie side of the ignition switch.
if you hook it to the ignition side of the switch the truck will not shut off.
