Yes, the regulator's A and A1 terminals (I forget which is which) are in series 
with the rest of the electrical system, except for the starter and horns.

On a pre-60K car, ISTR the circuit runs from the starter solenoid to the horn 
side of the fuse block, then to the ammeter, then to either A or A1 on the 
regulator, then from the other A terminal to the headlight switch and to the 
ignition switch.  Post-60K should be similar.
