I use the same alternators that were used on the late 70s
GM cars and trucks with the built in regulator.
Use a #10 or larger wire to run from the post on the back
to the starter battery terminal. A #16 guage wire from
the post on the back of the alternator to an oil pressure
switch located somewhere that isn't too hard to get to.
The 2 wires from the pigtail on the side of the alternator
are joined together and run to the other side of the oil
pressure switch.
These oil pressure switches are available at any auto
parts stores. I also like to do away with amp gauges too
and install a volt meter.
Doing away with the amp gauge usually requires extensive
rewiring, most old tractors need to be rewired anyway.
I have used this system for 15 years and have had
no problems.
