Default Wiring diagram with alternator

Tricky one.
Car is a 289, 5-bolt motor, going for the nearest to original I can get.
That said, I want to use an alternator, not a generator. I'm planning to fit an early Ford (1G casing?) alternator with an external regulator. But I want to keep the charge light on the dash and the ammeter. I can find wiring diagrams for Mustangs with either charge light OR ammeter, but not both.
US -market 289s had the Ford externally-regulated alternator and retained the charge light and the ammeter, so it must be possible. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for this? I have the 'shop manual' AC diagram, but that's for a generator.

I think this makes my desired setup the same as an original 427, but may be wrong. Is there a diagram for a 427 original-spec anywhere?

Thanks guys

Roger
