Charlie - A couple possibilities:
1 - If you can "tap" the ammeter needle to any position is says the new ammeter is defective (ie. the movement is sticking). A good ammeter will center itself at O almost instantly with no current flowing.
2 - If the ammeter deflects either direction when you make the battery connection you've got current draw somewhere. Could be as simple as the light switch left on. However a bad alternator (failed diode or regulator) will also do it. Also a short somewhere in the wiring.
Note also: If the needle defects to the + (charge) side when you connect the battery, is means the connections to the ammeter are reversed. Solution is to swap the wiring at the two ammeter posts.
