Voltage meter as in external, it is reading around 12v or Ammeter in the dash showing charge to and from the battery.

Double check...

1. You have square back alt with 2 field wires?
2. You have checked the resistance of each field wire to the case of the alternator and both have infinite resistance (open - not grounded)
3. You have a newer style electronic Voltage regulator with the V shaped connector.
4. You have the newer style VR wired correctly?
