Sorry...I'm a little confused by your post and procedure for testing?
At any rate when the car is running, take a voltmeter and put on the battery + and -. You should have roughly 14.5V with it running. If you only have 12V or less then your alternator is not charging. Once that is confirmed then you need to make sure the field wires are hooked up (plastic connector with usually 2 or 3 wires) to the alternator.
Post back with these results and we'll continue with diag from there.
