The bolt-on wire carries the charging current from the alternator stator windings to the battery. No problem there. There is also a wire that connects to the frame of the alternator to the block. The alternator is isolated from its mount by rubber bushings so a ground jumper is needed.
What exactly do you mean by "the fork" ? Is the alternator a re-built? A salvage unit? How are the brushes in length? Do the slip rinigs look good and smooth?
The terminal marked D+/61 gets a red wire that goes into the harness along with the fat red one. There is also in that harness a wire that goes to the oil pressure sensor. I think it is black.
I converted an external regulator system to internal on my 1979 by changing the brush holder unit to a brush/regulator unit. Fit the same and much easier to work with.
What happens if you disconnect a battery terminal when the ignition is off and the amp light is on? Big spark? Re-post with what you find.
Good Luck,
Bob
