Measure the current going to the alternator field.  An easy way to do that might
be to pull the field fuse (or trip circuit breaker) and connect an ammeter in
its place.  I would expect between 1 and 4 amps of field current.
  After use, do not forget to put the meter back on voltage setting.

I don't recall if it was mentioned, but be very certain the alternator 
is grounded to the crankcase and the crankcase has a good ground to the 
firewall or central grounding point. Lack of ground or poor ground could 
produce the symptoms.
