Wow, thanks for the quick replies.

Jim, I went ahead and did as you suggested and 'polarized' the generator. Then I checked the DF voltage, but I think I may have done it wrong. First I used the voltmeter over B+ and DF and it showed 12.23. Same at generator: DF to battery + was 12.23. So, if I did this correctly the result is that the wire is good. I'm just questioning now whether I checked the right thing.

Also, if anyone out there knows Bosch numbers, this is what my generator reads:
BOSCH 705
01012060660059
EG --> 14V25A29

I suspect this is already a replacement part.

Thanks again for your help everyone. The alternator conversion is looking like the best option right now.

Aaron
