Okay, still not solved. I was fooled by resistance readings with the PCM still connected. Recharged battery, disconnected PCM C1 and C2, and reconnected the battery:
Alt pin1 to C2 pin 2: 0.1 Ohms.
With 12.7Vdc put on Alt pin1, C2 pin2 lights the test light.
Alt pin2 to C2 pin40. 0.1 Ohms.
12.7Vdc to Alt pin2, C2 pin40 lights the test light.
PCM C1 pin 96 12.7Vdc & lights the test light.
I'm finally convinced that this wiring is good.
I found a Remy tech service bulletin on Chrysler charging systems that has more info on these alternators, (at autoprollc. Com website menu under Service Resources under Technical Bulletins). It turns out the sense output (alternator pin 2) is a Kelvin sense circuit that should have no current on it, but it does have a 2.4k Ohms resistor in the alternator to protect it from shorts to ground. That's where the 2.333k Ohms came from, and the voltage drop on alternator pin2 when the engine is started.
I'm not convinced the new PCM is good, but apparently there is a 5V turn on voltage to the EVR circuit when the PCM determines it should be turned on.
I haven't found the inputs the PCM requires to determine that the ignition is on and the engine is running. I haven't heard of any other requirements. Thanks for your help.
