You win the prize, Buckaroo! I took the wire off and the nut, stud and the connection spade were badly corroded. And I neglected to put a washer between the spade and the nut when I put it back together on the timing belt replacement job.
I cleaned the back of the alternator, stud, spade connection with a wire wheel on my drill and put a new nut and washer on. Running 14.1 volts on startup with no dash light. I shut it off and started it up probably a dozen times and the light stayed gone every time.
Thanks all for the help!
