Theo,
Let's see if this works.
There should be three bolts attaching the cutout to the generator. Two are simple attachment bolts; the third will have some insulating washers and is the actual output coming from the innards of the generator. This is one of the contacts that you use for polarizing.
On the opposite side from the generator output post, is a screw terminal on the side of the cutout can. This is the other contact that you use for polarizing. All of your wiring should go to this. With original color coding, this would be a yellow with black tracer going to the terminal box on the firewall (and from there to the ammeter), a yellow wire going to the horn, and a wire that is either yellow or (earlier) yellow with black tracer going to the light switch thingy on the bottom of the steering column.
