TomS is exactly right about the diode and the idiot lamp. The lamp (or a 5 watt 44 ohm resistor) furnish enough amperage to excite the alternator but limit the current back to a value less than the ignition requires. I prefer the resistor as it is more rugged than the diode and while the diode can be installed backward and not work, the resistor works either way. I put my exciter wire on the battery terminal of the ignition coil. The resistor (or lamp, or diode) is between the coil and the alternator. When I turn on the ignition, the alternator is "excited" and when I turn off the ignition, the exciter current stops. No extra switches and nothing to forget to turn on or off.
