Well if no one else can get you going, you might want to pop the top off the Regulator and take a picture to find out what you have. The easy: F=Field, A=Armature. But 2,3,4 could be anything?

Dp1, I'm thinking you have a generator and a alternator voltage regulator.
A voltage regulator for a gm generator should have 3 terminals. B-battery, A-to gen.(armature), F to gen.(field). Not to say you coultn't make a 4 terminal work. But I wouldn't know how. Hope this helps.
