When you don't have the ignition light then you only have to run one wire from the voltage regulator to the alternator. That wire is the FIELD wire. You do not have to run the stator wire. I have never,ever heard of running anything to the choke. Here's a picture of how early ERAs without ignition lights are wired. I borrowed this pic from the ERA manual, hopefully Bob P. won't yell at me for doing so.
