Update:

I got the right connection for my alternator, experimented and rewired the field and ground leads per some suggestions from the Aeroelectric List. WhaLa, alternator started outputting about 15 volts. Too high, but a few turns of the LR3C regulator screw has it now outputing 14.2 volts.

And as an added  bonus, after letting the engine warm up, I started slowing adjusting the Mixture Control up and down. Guess what, the Mixture Indicator on the EM2 slowly tracked those changes in a smooth manner. Much more so than last weekend when running on battery only.

Engine still idles higher than it should but now I'll go back to actual tuning tasks. Progress is good.
