    What do you mean by included. My PowerMaster 100 Amp. Allowed me to use the factory regulator as a junction point and using one of its wires to keep the I-did-it light.

    Post a close up picture of the alternator you purchased and we can probably help you and from what cars are using it.

    There are wiring diagrams posted here for the type of alternator you have https://nissan.7zap.com/en/ar/bluebird/u13/3+9306+9501/e/240/ Here in the States we have thousands of salvage yards to get used parts from, you need to get a wiring harness that matches your alternator, and you will not be using your old 6 volt Ford wiring and regulator to do that. It looks like this alternator has an internal regulator.

    Yes it to the built-in regulator, the only thing I don’t understand is "how to connect the wires that are currently on the generator" You need to REMOVE the old wires and 6 volt regulator, you will have to run new wires but you will need your new alternator's plug in harness to connect them to.

    What interests me is to know where to connect the REG BAT, REG ARM and REG FIELD to the new alternator?Or should I not reconnect them?

    Do you have shops there that rebuild alternator and starters as they will be able to tell you. I doubt anyone here is going to know the wiring diagrams for vehicles in France but if you could find a wiring diagram for the model of cars listed you could figure it out that way. Good luck.
