The only wire which you NEED connected to the Batt. terminal on the alternator is a #9 or#10 wire which should then be connected to the battery + terminal on the starter solenoid[heavy lead from battery]. Try this- take a 10 foot length of insulated # 10 wire with alligator clips such as are found on a battery charger & an ammeter[ 60-0-60 or even a 30-0-30]. Connect one of the clips to the Positive battery post & the other clip to one terminal on the ammeter. With the engine running at idle[& being very careful not to get near moving parts] hold the other ammeter terminal on the batt. terminal on the alternator thus completing the circuit. Note if there is a reading on the meter. I believe you haven't got a complete circuit from alternator to battery. Your voltmeter is a high resistance meter which would take some time to discharge the battery, where an ammeter is designed to read current passing through it & has very low resistance. Of course you need the connections to #1 and #2 terminals.# 2 terminal should be connected to the solenoid +[batt] terminal to accurately read battery voltage[#14 or#16 wire is adequate]. # 1 terminal of course, should go to the ignition switch through a 10 ohm 25 watt resistor.

Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell.
