Ok, I went ahead and bought a Delco alt. and mounted it tonight. It's solid, but the pulley doesn't line up perfect with the others, it's off just about the width of the pulley. Will this hurt the belt or the bearings in the alternator itself? I made a rough bracket for the top mount and the bottom I just changed to one long bolt and put in a spacer.
And as far as the actual electrical hookups go, I talked it over with the guys at NAPA and I'm gonna try the swap to a Delco. None of the those guys or myself for that matter, were %100 on what wires went where on the delco. The delco has the battery connection(red wire, only one we were all certain about), and it has the two plugs right next to each other labeled r1 and f2. We assumed the bigger plug off of the back of the Lucas goes to the f2(field) plug while the smaller plug goes to the r1. Assuming the white wire is the instrument panel wire, they thought it should go to the battery connection while I think it should go to the r1 plug(if the r1 plug is the sense circuit). I'm hoping I'm making sense with all of this. Here's a couple of pics of the mount job.
Sorry for the double post, here and over on the ford board, just thought there might be some non Ford people that might have some input, Thanks.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
