Blowing Maxi Fuse immediately...?

Thank you for the vote of confidence and welcome to the forum. The black wire is listed as going to the alt output post and leads straight back to the fuse block. As for the red wire it leads straight to the right side of the Maxi that is blowing. I attempted to switch the red in junction with the blue wire which appears to be how one of the diagrams depicts, but another Maxi blew even worse.

Your original photo appears to show the field wires correct.
The red wire should attach at the same point as the black wire. Right now, your red wire has a direct short to the body of the alternator.
The last image in your reply shows a very good overview of how the wiring should work. Your current wiring doesn't quite match, both 915 and 960 should connect at the charging post of the alternator which is where that black wire is shown in your original post.
