1964 Allis D19 bleeding fuel filter and alternator question

I just restored my 1964 D19 diesel , (only had it for a year)just wondering the right way to bleed the fuel filters. I see there is a plug on the bottom of the first one (I assume you open that one first) and two plugs on top. A plug on top closest to the pump and towards the other end. I guess you take one of those out to bleed the filter next to the pump? Also my tractor has an GM alternator. I wasn't sure about wiring the Ammeter back up (it wasn't there before) I ran a wire from the lug on front of the alternator to the positive (charge side )of the ammeter and a wire from the negative side to the battery. I also ran a wire from the number two plug on the side of the alternator to the lug on front of it. then I ran a wire from the number one plug on the side to a idiot light then to the ingnition terminal of my key switch. I need to take more pics. I'm pretty much done with it now. Finally !!!!

If you want to see the full amperage your alternator is producing at any given time - that is what you will get the way you have described your ammeter hook up. If however you wish to have the ammeter show the balance of the charging system such as draw from the battery if the engine is running too slow to supply lights etc then you need to have your accessory draw on the same stud on the ammeter that has the supply coming from the alternator. HTH. Please post us a picture of your tractor :)
