Solution! :d
Konichiwa forum people!
SO! Busy week, I'm sorry that I didn't update in a timely manner, but I didn't get around to making an attempt to "slap" the new alternator in.
I got really paranoid about installing it, because I was hoping for an easier solution (which seemed more likely).
So, I decide to check wiring one more time...
Upon a more thorough inspection of a ground that leads to the chassis, I see a single wrap-around of black duct tape that had seen better days.
...curious...
RIGHT AS RAIN! The ground was cut (somehow) and just taped back together. and barely making contact.
Take me and my happy ass to Pep Boys, buy a vanilla ground and make a little bit of aftermarket tlc so it's compatible.
Time for a brisk drive along I-95 with every possible electronic on!
NOT A SINGLE BATTERY LIGHT, JUMP, NONSHIFT, OR ANYTHING!
Happy as a clam that is capable of emotion.
Next up! Replacing the fuel pressure regulator solenoid...as it seems to be stuck in "roaring down the highway" mode...and giving me an fuel economy of approx. 17 MPG. D:
