""What were you measuring when you say the Alt field wires?""

Hand held meter: black on ground and the red on each field wire (one at a time) to measure the voltage at the alternator with the key at RUN, VR connected.
I was expecting to see the same voltage that the VR showed but I was confused when I found the 14v reading. I turned off the key and thought about it then I made the same test again and found the same 14v reading.
I don't understand how it can show 14v at the field wires (VR connected)when the blue and green wires at the VR (disconnected from the VR with the key on) gave me 11.9v.
