One of the first things a student in electronics/electrical 101 learns is that in order to have current flow one must have a path to and from the source. Because the vehicle is not running the only source is the batteries. A 12V battery in itself is a simple series circuit, 6 cells connected in...

I would like an explanation, if the 14V reg tap and trans tap cannot flow any current to the low side negative terminal because it is disconnected and it cannot flow any current to the 24v pos terminal because it is disconnected then just where would the current flow occur ?

Yes interrupting the ground and 24V hot would do the same thing, no current could flow in any circuit.

No

568 was a left over from the 60A alt days and should have been plugged (capped) off and tied back to the harness.

That U joint is bad at the transfer case, you can clearly see the play in it (at the 2 second time mark), also any time you see red (rust) around a U joint it is likely bad.

What model wiring diagram are you looking for?

I could see that possibility, if the ign. terminal (5A) was back-feeding voltage to the system, but surly by now he has disconnected all the terminals off of the regulator to eliminate that possibility, that was suggested early in this thread.

Do you have an electric lift pump installed?

I'm pretty sure you would simply put the new valve in line with the original valve (series connection)

29A is power to the run circuit.

When it died the first time was it "sudden" as in the engine seemed to seize all of a sudden? Then when you tried to restart the engine would not turn over (rotate)? If so it probably did hydro lock and you likely have a bent rod.

Pulling the connector on the regulator would have been the first thing I would have tried. Disconnecting wire 29A off of the master start switch would have been second. If you have changed six smart boxes it seems very doubtful it is a smart box.

Use a mirror or an endoscope and check the gear on the output shaft of the transfer case.

Looks like it is well laid out! Sorry for your health issues, hope you get better soon!!
