Mark, do you have a 3 wire or 1 wire alternator? If it's a 3 wire, connect the wire from the gen light bulb to the # 1 terminal of the alternator.
For the oil light, you'll need an oil pressure sender switch from local auto supply. Almost any pressure switch will work. I think there is another oil pressure port on the engine if you have a gauge sender already. Connect the switch to the oil light bulb. Most oil pressure switches close at around 5 or 6 psi, so the light will come on below that pressure. Give me a call sometime. Don
