As for the volt gauge moving slow, until you rev the engine the alternator is not really making that much power.
Even then when you figure you had a 200 amp glow plug draw, a 300 amp starter draw and are now replacing that with a 100 amp alternator, it does take a little time to charge the batteries back up.
I would have to check a wiring diagram out to figure out the wire color on a 92.

I am making everything I am replacing with solder on terminals and insulated wire.
With insulated wire, the conductor is protected from the salt road spray we have here in the winter that does a job on the ground straps.
I don't think I have any of the flat metal OEM straps left on my truck, the salt ate them years ago.
