Default Voltage Regulator Wiring

can anyone give me a diagram to wire a 68....i just put in a new alternator and am adding a solid state voltage regulator...apparently i didnt even have one before...and i just had a RELAY i guess....i dont really get all this electrical stuff now....

bottom line....there is 4 female wires and 4 male terminals on the voltage regulator....i need to know which terminals the 4 wires plug into.....

ANY help....thanks

I was on the same wild goose chase for a while... glad I wasn't the only one!
So are you still going to replace it with solid state? I just did the gap adjustments on mine and am wondering if it solid state is that much better.
