If it's like the Delco with internal regulator, there's only one wire to the ammeter to show charge etc. There is another connector that requires a small amp surge to get the field excited on start up. I just use a push button switch but have to remember to push this button to start the charging when the engine starts after a shut down. I tried to wire a small dash lamp into this circuit off the ignition switch to provide the necessary small amp jolt to excite the field but haven't gotten it to work so I revert to the push button switch. When I got the tractor, an 8N with the 12V conversion and the Delco alternator, the guy just had a short wire with the end insulation off and hot wired and he just brushed that other connection with this wire to energize the field. Not much finese.
