I've been following this restoration with great interest, I have a 36 C8 4door sedan. I was wondering how you came out with the h/l harness as the description stated they were for Ford. I tried some of the 2331 (Wagner I believe) yep clocked wrong. I reworked my original harness and so far no problems.
Concerning your generator, I had trouble this fall finally got it checked and mine has thrown solder off the armature. Mine looks just like yours ( well gen & cutout only) I wire only off cutout and back to dash. I will have to look but it seems like the two wires went directly into the cutout. After much indecision I'm going back with a 6v+ alternator.
