I have a 1966 Mustang (1965 wiring if that helps), bought a BMW Nitro 2-way alarm for it. I am having trouble with the remote start. When I try to start it, it doesn't stop cranking over, even when the engine has started.  

The wiring diagram says to connect it to alternator (positive when engine is on), I tried but I'm not sure which wire on the alternator ( i have damaged too many to risk guessing).

The other alternative is that I know it needs a 12V to shut off the start, so a 12V power when the engine is on would do the trick. But what is there on an OLD engine/car that does this? I have a mechanical fuel pump, carburetted engine, practically nothing that does that!

Please help anyone!!

What possessed you to want to put a remote starter in a classic car like that anyway? lol just curious. You don't use it in the winter do you...and it doesn't have AC does it?
You usually need the negative side of the coil for a tach signal. It needs to be 1-6 volts AC and should increase with RPM's.

Heh heh. My 'stang is far from stock! So it is a total restomod, and one of the few "hot sixes" out there! I'm not overly eager to get the remote start, it came with the alarm and I thought it would be kind of novel! But if you have seen the instructions for the alarm you would understand my distress. They are at: https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=51742&KW=nitro

I live in AZ, so no it is never winter here. But for the summer it can help to cool the car down. I have aftermarket air conditioning by classic air. What do you mean by 1-6 volt AC from the coil? I read somewhere on this forum that it doesn't work with the tacho wire.

I'm assuming you don't get any voltage where you hooked the wire to when the car isn't running. You didn't hook it to the constant 12 volts did you?
