I appreciate the help! The black w/white stripe is good from the bulk head to the instrument cluster, but not connected to the brown wire on the engine side (the one that goes to the voltage regulator).

Could be that i'm mis-interpreting the diagrams, I assume that the wire leaving the instrument connection labeled "Alternator", the black w/white strip wire connects to the brown wire on the engine side of the bulk head connector. Maybe by "Alternator", it mean the post on the back of the Alternator???
