This is somthing that I had forgotten till I purchased a new Voltage Regulator
during my restoration..
 
Every time you disconnect either your positive or negative battery terminal
and you run a generator with a voltage regulator, you are required to polarize
the regulator.
 
Instructions received with new regulator:
Caution: Follow these instructions exactly.

Disconnect the wire at the regulator terminal marked FLD.
Momentarily (no longer than 2 seconds) touch the wire to the BAT terminal. 
There may be a brief spark:  this is normal.
Reconnect the wire to the field (FLD) terminal
Start vehicle and check charging system for proper operation.
 
Just in case the brain leak kicks in - FYI
