Ford alternator with a separate regulator usually has this: From the alternator -

The big output terminal goes to A on the regulator.

Stator/Neutral terminal goes to S on the regulator.

Fields goes to F on the regulator.

Note the regulator also has an I terminal that gets hooked to an indicator light and IGN switch for power.

I originally (and CRUDELY) drew that diagram in Paint and posted it to THIS site and the site Jon Hagen found it on is "Malaysia Mini Lovers") about Mini Coopers, perhaps???) and now he's linked it back to here!

I uploaded it to my ISP's server 29-Aug-2005 @ 17:24.

LOL, Yes, the WWW really has made the world very small.
I paid no attention where the diagram came from, only that it was correct for a Ford external regulator alternator on a system with a voltmeter/ammeter.
