Instrument cluster wiring

I have wired my instrument cluster, on my 74 Duster with 225 slant 6, twice already. Every time it seems everything is right and then a while later I start seeing smoke coming out of the dash. I removed the instrument cluster and the wires that are connected to the alternator gauge, by the left side, are burnt. The first time it fried my alt gauge and the circuit board. Is there a specific way to connect the wires to the alt gauge, red on right and black on left (option A)or red on left and black on right (option B)or this telling me my voltage limiter (circle) is bad and I need to replace it?
