    Can anyone help me with the correct (regulator, battery, soleniod, alternator) wiring setup for a 72 Comet. I am looking to see if I have this right and if someone could fill in any gaps.

    I've got no existing wiring aside from 4 wires coming out beneth my battery tray (yellow, Red with blue stripe, Red with green stripe, Green with red stripe); the regulator wiring clip is missing, but I have one coming in the mail.

    Regulator
    I:
    A: to 12V post on soleniod
    S: to Stator (STA) terminal on Alternator
    F: to Field (FLD) terminal on Alternator

    Alternator
    STA: to S connection on regulator
    BAT: to 12V connectoin on soleniod
    FLD: to F connection on regulator
    GRD: where should this ground connection come from???
    unlabeled: is this an additional ground, it's unlabled on the back of the alternator?

    Soleniod:
    12V post:

    I:
    S:

    Battery:
    +: to 12v connection on selenoid
    -: grounded to body???
