this is how I have the alternator set up...
No, you have two wires in the wrong place. Switch the two skinny wires on the solenoid around. Do them like the drawing below.

Or, if you go from your drawing, just switch the two wires shown in red.
Maybe they did make them reversed like that, but every one I have seen the post that kicks the solenoid is on the left side of the fat battery post, looking toward the rear. I always remembered that because of how I use a flat bladed screwdriver to bridge the gap and crank the engine.

You cant feed the excite wire (1) on alt off the ign on the coil or sol, it will cause the engine to keep running.Either run it through a resistor or a light bulb in series(alt light)from ign.
quick question about the resistor drawing on this pic going to the coil. I can use a light bulb to serve as a resistor? I suppose I don't fully understand the purpose of the resistor.
