In case anyone else runs into this sort of problem, this is what I've found.
If you have a 3 wire regulator, have a look at
http://www.vtr.org/maintain/alternator-repair.html
For a 4 wire regulator,
Black goes to ground, as shown on the web page
Yellow goes to the brush, as shown
Red goes to the + plate, as shown for the red wire
White goes to the connector which is next to the label of "Brush Box" on
the diagram
The new regulator hasn't fixed the problem of a faintly glowing red light
staring at me from the darkness. The diodes were all good when I checked
them before. Oh well. I had ordered Dan Masters' book before this all
started so I'll just wait for it to arrive to see what sort of simple thing
I've overlooked.
