When I bought my Super A, it already had the alternator installed. My ammeter also showed 'discharge'. However, with a multimeter across the battery terminals with the engine running, it was obvious the alternator was doing it's job, as it was reading 13+ volts.
Turns out that the original generator-system had a positive ground, and the alternator-system has a negative ground. My ammeter was working, I just had to reverse the connections. I guess that's what happens with the change in 'ground'.
Hope your fix could be as simple.
