1948 Ford 8N, Front Mount, 6V Positive Ground.

So I'm in the process of converting my tractor to 12V using a three wire alternator. It's a 213-4011, which is a NAPA 10si. I have a 6V harnass that is only about two years old, that's why I'm not ripping it all out and starting over.
I want to verify that I'm wiring the charging circuit correctly. Please correct me as you see fit.

-I should use wire ALPHA ([i:32b368e5b4]currently connecting Gen BATT to Regulator Armature[/i:32b368e5b4]) to connect to bottom stud of the Resistor Block.

-I believe this is for the "excitor" correct?
-I should use wire CHARLIE (currently connecting Gen Field to Regulator Field) to connect Terminal 1 (DELTA) with Diode to the ignition side stud of the resistor block, right?

-I believe this is for the voltage sensing, correct?
-I should use wire BRAVO (currently connecting Gen Ground to Regulator Ground) to connect Terminal 2 (ECHO) with the bottom stud of the resistor block.
-Some websites say to jump this to BATT. Which method is preferable?
This would totally eliminate the regulator. The charging portion of my electrical would be correct, right?
