Oh wow. Wow! Nice work Stan
The voltage sense wire is usually hooked up to the battery, seeing as the battery is in the front that makes a long wire. A better place for it is probably the main terminal on the starter motor solenoid as there will be less voltage drop because of the larger size of wire. You will also need a relay so not to flatten the battery when the car is not in use.I installed the alternator and it works properly. The alternator has three terminals - output, dash light and voltage sense. The dash light works the same as when hooked up to a generator. Some people hook up the voltage sense wire to the output, but that isn't recommended. I ran a short wire from the ignition coil feed to the alternator sense terminal. That gives a good signal as far from the alternator output as possible. I have a small oil leak from the front of the engine. It leaked a lot more when I first started it up. Is this normal and will it go away as the engine is broken in?
As for tow bars, I see that there are plenty of adjustable ones that will work fine.

I don't know if it is too soon or not but I would recommend re-torqueing the manifold nuts at the same time because the manifold gasket can compress and loosen the nuts which might not be apparent to a visual or finger-tight inspection. The nuts can become loose when things get hot resulting in mystery ailments... don't ask me how I know this.I was thinking of changing the oil and torquing down the head bolts. Is this too soon, or is it a good time?
