That's pretty much what I suspected. Thanks Randall.

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure that the two wires coming from the generator are
correct. The section of my main wiring harness that runs under the
carburetors in the engine bay had some problems when I acquired the car, and
I've done some repair work to it. Was the sub-harness unattached to the
main harness originally? If so, it's likely I wrapped it all back up with
the main harness a couple of years ago when I repaired some of the wires in
the main harness.
I may go ahead and cut into my main harness and see if I can locate the
missing brown/yellow wire from the ignition lamp.
Thanks again.
