[Spridgets] Electrical help-Alternator conversion

[Mark Haynes]

I'm sliding down this slippery slope of modification and need some help.
I'm trying to put a ND 3 wire alternator into my BE. It's already converted
to Negative ground and I'm intending on rewiring the regulator per Barney
Gaylord to just use it as a terminal block.
Here's the issue, the alternator has a Battery Positive Sense (S) terminal,
a Keyed Battery Ignition (I) terminal and an Indicator Light (L) terminal.
I'm assuming that the S terminal should get the 'fat' brown wire that used
to go to the D terminal on the regulator (new placement the A terminal
after rewiring), and that the L terminal goes to the small yellow wire to
feed power to shut off the charge light.
Do I need to wire the I terminal (Keyed battery ignition) so that it sees
power when the ignition switch is on (the white wire at A1 of the
regulator), or is this redundant and unnecessary?
TIA, the new engine/5 speed/speedhut tach & speedo are all coming together
to drive this spring!
