Graybeard,
1. With ignition on, disconnect small wire at alternator, this should put lamp out. Now ground this wire's end to engine with ign still on, and lamp should come back on.
All of this is because lamp shoud be finding it's ground in the alt.
The alternator terminal that this wire came from should turn to pos voltage (14/15 volts) when engine runs. Put volt meter here and see if it does numbers on first startup.
Let's do the above and get some results before moving on.
cheers,
