Charge from alternator not reaching battery 900 1994

1994 Volvo 944 T. 205k miles.

Battery tests good. Charges and holds a charge no problem. No problems with losing charge when dormant / not running.

Meter readings, off: 12.8v at battery terminals and on connectors.
Running: 12.6v at battery terminals and on connectors. 14.3v at back of alternator.

No obvious wiring issues, but clearly the charge is not getting from the alternator to the battery. Alternator warning light in dash is NOT on, bulb is good (lights before start).

Ideas? Suggestions for where to start? Do I just have to start yanking all the wiring from the back of the alternator and looking for a bad wire?

Thanks.
