I'd still wonder why not a set of brushes and a bearing in the old one ?
Ok, I must have missed something.
Pictures as requested.

New alternator and new connector:

If one terminal is to battery voltage reference and the battery is installed and connected, I should have 12V on that wire, correct? Would I also have 12V on the other wire when the key is turned on?
Connected battery and this is exactly the situation with the old connector---one wire having constant 12v and the other with voltage present only when the key is turned. I'm going to start soldering the new connector pigtail onto the original wiring. If I get it wrong, hopefully someone can correct me.
