I think I have a diagram that may help. It's for a 65 Mustang with external regulated alternator. What's your email address? I'll send it to you...

Wiring a ford alternator is not too bad.

Paul,

I sent it to you. It is much like the one Franklin put up. The voltage regulator wiring for an alternator is different from a voltage regulator wiring for a generator, so unless you had a six volt alternator setup, you would have to change it.
