You shouldn't get any reading on the volt meter when only one lead is connected. I would try a different multi-meter.

Should I hook that little noise filter capacitor back up to the wire going to the gauge? Looking at how it was wired into the factor regulator it appears that's where it should go. I don't want noise in my radio whenever I get around to putting one in.
That capacitor (filter) was meant for the external voltage regulator, to cancel out the resonance of the regulator points, which you won't have with the internal regulated alternator, so I don't think you will need it. It wouldn't go to the battery gauge wire in any case.
