It was in the alternator feed to the battery. It was a splice and looked to be a type of fusible link. It gave up its location when we only measure 5V going to the alternator with the key off. Pulled the tape back and viola. Now I am on to starter issues in which it seems to be binding. The bolt holes for the Dynaforce were larger than the 5/16th (i.e. 1/2" head). I cut some 3/8th copper and made the bolts fit tighter in the holes and its a little better, but I will have to try shims. Dynaforce has no lateral movement so shims will only do in / out. I will have to try that later in the week. I think the starter was moving around because the bolts were smaller than the starter case holes. Something is not quite right, but I will get to the bottom of it. It may be its not pulling away enough from the flywheel or engaging too much. Thanks again for sagely advice.
