Running the rust wire to the batt terminal on the alt gets close to the 1 wire alt setup. The brown wire needs to go to a switched power source as it will continue to draw power even when the alt isn't spinning.

If you have an idiot light instead of a gauge, make sure the bulb is good as a bad bulb can result in no alternator output.
