DUVAC is needed if you decide to stick with the OE diode-based battery isolator.

Other more modern and other more KISS solutions are available.

I'm thinking the "adjust voltage" notes are intended for a L-N alternator. The Delco has no manual voltage adjustment - instead has a sense terminal which should be used and connected to the start battery "+" terminal. This will automatically adjust the alternator to correct voltage with or without an isolator.

Sorry that is correct about the voltage adjustment.  I installed the DCDC first and replaced the alternator about a month later when it started giving me wild ranges of voltage on my cig lighter voltage readings.  Will ad to original post

Tommy D, next time we're through your neck of the woods we might have to spend an extra day.
I could use a teacher with a pointer saying "leg bone connected to the ankle bone".

Always been a visual (slow) type of learner, at least that's what the drill instructor yelled at me.

P.S.
Those batteries are working GREAT, bourbons gone though.

Don't know how good of a teacher I would be but Ive made a lot of mistakes and they say that is when you learn the most.  I would be happy to show you what I have done and I know where to get more Bourbon, you bring the pointer!  :))  :))  :))
