I am totally confused on what you are asking! Are you just wanting to know the normal generator to voltage regulator wiring? Why not look at a wiring diagram, easy to find on the internet. There are three wires that connect to the voltage regulator. The power wire back to your circuit breaker panel. It connects to BAT on the regulator and is a heavier gauge wire. Then there is the field wire from the generator that connects to FLD on the regulator and armature wire that connects to ARM on the regulator. There should also be a ground wire from the generator to the case/mounting screw on the regulator.

Note: on the diagram they are marked B, F & A

LOL, OK, now I have some idea where your going. Ford was fairly consistent with the wiring colors.

Ground from the side of the gen to the reg mounting bolts/screws Black/Red
Field from the side of the gen to the reg FLD or F terminal Black/White
Armature from the rear of the gen to the reg ARM or A terminal Yellow/Black
Power out from the reg BAT or B terminal Solid Yellow

Does that help any?
