I got back from picking up the battery about a half hour ago - got it charged and load tested again just to be safe. I also brought the new alternator with me and tested it as well.
The alternator averaged 14.69 volts. Low 13.7, High 15.7
I just took off all the electrical tape that was wrapped around the four wires for the alternator and found some suspect issues. I'm not sure if this would really cause my voltage issue, but doesnt look good. You can see the red and black cables are melted like they were resting on the block and the blue and white wires are twisted to the harness plug. at least they were wrapped in tape individually. I'm going to crimp those and cut the red and black wires down past the melted insulation.
