Hahaha thats okay. I appreciate the look.
After a whole lot of digging and hitting up the chat part of the ford parts page, I found out whag it is finally. Its the wire that “excites” or gives a surge to make the alternator work. Somehow it got cut, and now its screwing with my alternator. Unfortunately the part nor the wiring harness is manufactured anymore. Ill have to hit up a junk yard for one, or at least that piece so I have some more wire to play with and fix.
If y’all happen to know where else besides rockauto, LMC, and vintage parts that is an “official” obsolete parts dealer that i might find this it would be appreciated.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 38 here with just a few clouds to the East and what looks like a fog bank rising up off the beach & over the coast range. Pretty sure it will burn off before it gets here.
Yep, it was pretty darn nice running around in a T-Shirt yesterday.
What Evan said Pat. If we can't go to Waikiki, then the Pineapple Express brings it to us here in the Banana Belt. But, like Evan says, we usually get severely punished for it a few days later. Either by the Pineapple Express or an Artic blast directly out of the Gulf of Alaska.

Hmmm, fog/cloud bank building over the Beach and Coast Range didn't burn off. We now have a solid overcast.
Waiting for a couple of phone calls, get some lunch and then head back over to Salem to retrieve the boat. I really was expecting it to take a few more days. I'm going to have to speed up the wood pellet delivery I guess.
