I GOT IT!!!!! I finally figured it out yesterday afternoon. I danced around the yard many times. Wiring can be such a pain in the ass sometimes.

I figured out there are 2 wires coming from the ignition, and 1 resistor wire. I was only using 2 of them..a hot and the resistor when the gauge worked, only showing Discharge. I traced my schematics again and hooked up both positives coming from the ign. and then the resistor wire to the other only remaining wire.

I figured out only having 2 of them hooked up was failing to charge the field wire on the ALT, causing the alternator to put out nothing.

Yeah, that's what I thought it would be.
