Re: Converting back to six volt

There should only be one wire on the regulator BAT terminal and that goes to the ammeter. There is a ground wire (44) from the regulator to the headlight junction block where it joins a ground wire (23) coming from the generator case. That ground is needed to provide a solid direct ground reference to the regulator so regulator knows exactly what the generator is outputting without the voltage being possibly dropped or changed due to poor connections between sheetmetal or generator to block to body mounting issues. Some regulators have a special ground terminal where it connects and other regulators just have it go to one of the regulator to body mounting screws. On your lower photo it is shown going to a ground terminal on the regulator but in the upper colored photo the terminal is not marked or made clear.
I don't know which colored drawing you are working with but on your photo the black wire I see connecting with the red wire at the regulator ARM terminal is found only on the 356 engine with the large solenoid pinion shift starter. If that colored drawing you have is for the 160-180 models there will be some differences and some wiring shown that your 110 does not have.
Don't know if you have seen the AEA drawings which are much easier to follow wire by wire so here is one for the 41 110. As you notice there is only the one wire at the BAT terminal on the regulator and the second wire at the ARM terminal is not present in the 110. You will also see the two black ground wires between generator and regulator joining at the headlight junction block. At the regulator it is shown as just going to the case so it could be either a mounting screw or an unmarked ground terminal.
