Assuming you have an original system, place a voltmeter on your battery to 
see the voltage. Then disconnect the Field (green) wire from the alternator. 
Start the engine and hotwire the positive battery terminal to the alternator 
terminal from which you removed the wire. The volt meter should show that 
it's charging, maybe as much as 18 volts. If not, you're alternator is to 
blame. If so, check your regulator.
