Corey,
On a tractor of the age you mentioned, the gauges should be mechanical (I believe you said it was a 1950 model year, right?)
The way I would wire it is such:
Switch batt. for - ground
wire from alternator (BATT) to wherever your + batt cable hooks (starter, solenoid.. )
Wire from location of Batt cable to + ammeter
Wire from - ammeter to ign. switch
wire from opposite side of switch to + side of 12v ign coil (may need a ballast resistor in line to coil)
You would want to hook light switch, start switch (if tractor has solenoid) etc on same side as coil so that when switch is off so are lights, etc.
If I read your other post correctly, you bought your kit from THIS SITE and depending on the kit, it looks like it should be self- exciting alternator, and that a wiring diagram was included.
Don't worry about being new to tractors, we all were new once.. I bought my first one 14 years ago.. Was still in high school, and barely driving a car.. so I've had to learn just as you are doing.. Have 8 tractors now.
I hope you can get it figured out.. Wiring is hard to describe sometimes..

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
