A 12 volt draw on battery from a one wire alternator

I did everything you said. No spark on either terminal. I think its a bad alternator. Just to make sure I got it right. The green wire goes on either field terminal and runs over to voltage regulator. The blue wire hooks to the other field terminal and runs over to center pin on the VR. I read the MAD article over and over and actually bought some wiring for it. Would it be right if I mounted my VR next to Alt. Do I still need ballast and will the regulator work with it going straight to starter relay?
