Agreed. I have a braided ground cable from the transmission top cap bolt to the frame, (grounding the motor as the motor mounts are rubber and insulate it electrically), then the frame to the battery, like the wiring schematic, and I get full circuit function. The wire mentioned from the generator to the regulator is a back-up one to assure good generator function and is 10AWG.
In the below photos, the ground is the one attached with a small screw to the body of the generator slightly in the background, (I also used it to tap into an accessory ground as it was in a handy spot), in the one of the regulator it can be seen coming out of the harness and going to the screw that mounts the regulator to the firewall.
Slightly different components to yours as remember, mine are from a '53 model, but the circuit is the same.
