Chris,
I used the same alternator that you have. I can't remember which
but either the #1 or #2 lug is the power for the internal regulator.
I think that GM connects this lug to something called the horn relay?
I connected it to the main output (big lug). The other is for the
charge light. I managed to use the stock wires with no cutting
and the light seems to work correctly.
I think I connect the brown/yellow wire from the
generator to the light lug on the alternator. Then disconnect
both big and small brown/yellow wires from the Ford regulator
and connect the two together. Your light should work. If you have
interest I can get exactly what I did from my notes at home.
