Ford Lehman wiring question

The oil pressure switches and tach wires were disconnected on both my FL
120s. (Don't ask!!!!)  For the life of me I can't figure out which wire
goes to external voltage regulators which have three terminals and which
connect to the alternator.
Help please.

Oliver, the continuity function on a multimeter might help. Touch one of
the probes to the end of a wire that is attached to a gauge, the other
probe is touched to the ends of the various wires. When continuity is noted
on a wire, its function will be revealed by which gauge it is attached tol.
