Question Alternator headaches

I am currently restoring a '72 F100 thats seen better days. I bought a universal wire harness and everything seemed to be going good. Until the batteries die. I have already determined the problem to be in the alterantor. I have 4 terminals on the back of mine. (1) GRD=ground, (2) BAT=battery, (3) FLD=???, (4) STA=???. What are the STA, and FLD terminals for and where should I wire them to. Thanx J.R. Oh yeah you can go to http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=320 050944&albumId=0 to view pics of the progress I'm making along the way.

The ground is unused, The FLD is Field and STA is stator they both go to the voltage regulator.

The sta is stator connector, this should go to your electric choke. The fld is a field connector and should go to the voltage regulator. Make sure all your ground cables are good especially one from engine block to cab firewall. Hope this helps.
