George, if youre replacing an old 2 wire Cutout Relay and LHBD light switch system with what sounds like a 4 terminal (BAT ARM FLD LOAD) Voltage Regulator, to specifically answer your question
". . . and then run a wire from the L connection on the regulator to the Field resistance connection on the switch . . . ."
THE ANSWER IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You no longer use the switch terminal that used to wire to the gennys Field post.... The VR's L terminal is to feed hot battery voltage to loads (via the switch) like lights n ignition (if a coil ignition) instead of them being fed from the ammeters Load (NOT battery/starter) terminal as they were before
Heres the correct way to wire that 4 terminal Voltage Regulator
BAT wires up to the Load (NOT battery/starter) side of the ammeter. That would be the same terminal (and wire) that wired to the BAT side of a Cutout Relay and also supplied hot battery voltage to lights n ignition. With the VR and its L terminal it now feeds them instead, so remove any wire from the ammeters load terminal to the switch and wire the switch instead to L on the VR.
ARM/GEN on VR wires to gennys ARM post FLD on VR wires to gennys FLD post L on VR wires to BAT input terminal on switch (instead of it wiring to the ammeter)
NOTE on many 4 terminal VR's the termiunal off on one side or the bottom all by itself is the ARM/GEN terminal and the 3 side by side are BAT FLD LOAD
NOTE it will still work if loads are kept on the ammeter (same terminal that wires to BAT on VR) and the L terminal isnt even used, but I would use the L terminal
AGAIN DO NOTTTTTTTTT WIRE THE VR'S L TERMINAL TO THE LIGHT SWITCH
If its an older 3 brush genny you may want to adjust its third brush to the max charge position if youre converting to a VR instead of the old relay n light switch system.

Today's Featured Article - History of the Nuffield Tractor - by Anthony West. The Nuffield tractor story started in early 1945. The British government still reeling from the effects of the war on the economy, approached the Nuffield organization to see if they would design and build an "ALL NEW" British built wheeled tractor, suitable for both British and world farming.
