Hi and welcome to the forum,

DC - The +ve (mounting stud, positive earth) to the frame. The -ve to the battery (could be via an ignition switch and ammeter).

AC ~ - Two wires from the alternator white/green and green/black to the other two connection on the rectifier.
Three wires from the alternator white/green to one connection green/black and green/yellow to the other.

Best wishes...
