hey guys, im kinda new to understanding the whole electrical thing, so this is what im asking..

im turning a 51 F-1 pickup into a daily driver with a 302 ect...ect....

it did have the old flathead with a generator on it, and a regulator mounted on the firewall,

the regulator has 4 wires, one is a ground that went to the generator, another says arm, field, and bat.

the battery wire goes inside the cab somewhere, i havent chased that one, but the other two went to the generator.

im updating to either a 3 wire or 1 wire?

the old alternator i have now has 3 plugs as well, one was the FLD, another, STA, and then a big 10 ga.

im used to chevy stuff.. hooker up to the battery!

i guess im just lost and wondering what wires go where?
