Have you looked at the A.E.A. wiring diagram?http://www.packardclub.org/wiring/1940wiring-6cyl.JPG

If I'm reading it correctly it shows a 4th connection at the regulator.

PS - I must say I'm surprised by the number of folks who have generator/regulator issues and I wonder how much of it is due to incorrect parts or poor diagnosis/repair. I've driven my 2 Packards for tens of thousands of miles, one for over 45 years, and other than new generator brushes and perhaps a bearing or bushing replacement on the rarest of occasion, have never had an issue of any sort. And with one exception none of my local Packard buddies have ever had any issues either.
