Do you have a factory service manual. The wiring layout is shown quite well in there. If you don’t have a manual, i can scan you some images. 
 

The electric system is pretty basic.

Basically the battery goes to one side of the amp meter and the generator and everything else goes to the other side. Which way you connect it depends if it is positive or negative ground.  Dodge would have been Positive ground originally I believe.  If the meter reads backwards just reverse the connections.
