New ,rebuilt alternator is in place and UPS is showing the wire from ERA to arrive tomorrow. I decided to bit the bullet and un-wrap the harness, pull out the old wire and then install the new one and re-wrap everything. Everything will back to 'As-New" condition then.
Check those alternator hot leads. FWB is pretty much on the same page as I - planning to install a small washer before the terminal and then use a serrated lock washer between the nut and the terminal. I think I'm even going to stick a cut down vacuum cap over the exposed end of the terminal connection just for another precaution.

yes the vac cap sounds good, its damn close to the head...in my mind i see an arc jumping to it.........still looking for the GM type alt wire boot that would fit over the red cover and make everything nice and tidy
i ran heat shrink right down to the eyelet and resin coated fiberglass loom.
