The yellow wire is the run wire,  the red wire goes to the starter.

That's if the 68 is the same as the 66.

By update alternator to a three wire, I assume you mean a standard GM alternator. Yes, you can do that and eliminate the external Motorola regulator. See http://theamcforum.com/forum/wiring-a-gm-10si-or-27-si-into-amc_topic12493.html
