Thanks manand best of luckwith your project. I noticed that you hooked up a pink wire, which I assume is the S wire on the alternator pigtail, to the alternator post on the back side. What about the L wire, did you connect any resistor between the L wire and the alternator exciter?
The reason why I am asking is that I have got the same alternator, and there was only the L wire on the alternator pigtail connected to the alternator exciter wire, and the S wire was not connected. The alternator was not charging the battery when the S wire was not connected. So, I connected the S wire to post on the backside of the alternator similar to yours and started to get 14.4V at the alternator, but there is no any resistor between the L wire and alternator exciter wire. I actually don't know whether the alternator exciter wire is hooked to the dash cluster or to the PCM, and there is no charge light.. I tried to trace the exciter wire but know luck. The wiring harness and the EFI harness are from Painless.
I also realized that a Ford starter solenoid was installed on the fender well,
Honestly I don't know what the rest of the wires are for.
