Ended up being a bad “new alternator”

So I bypassed the amp meter, and still no charge... I’m at a loss of what to do now

Appreciate the advice! I am about to go test all of this. I was also told the ammeters can go bad in these causing the battery not to charge. Can I just bypass the ammeter? Or should I change to a voltmeter?

Yes, it started and it still runs good. Just does not charge the battery. So we put a new alternator in, and a new voltage regulator (the old one was melted on the back so I think that one was defiantly bad). No change with the new parts.

Does anyone know where the fusable links/link are located?

How do you know if the fusible link is bad? I took the fusible link that runs from the Ignition Starter relay to the fuse box off to see if it was damaged, but it just looked normal to me. The Ignition starter relay is the first thing the power goes to from the battery, so that's why I checked...

How exactly do I check the voltage on those wires? I do have a multi-tester, I just don't know how to check the voltage on each wire.

Hey guys, My 1974 Dodge Charger (318) is not charging the battery. I replaced the alternator and voltage regulator and it is still will not charging. I had a brother in law jump it on 80 amp boost and it melted the voltage regulator and ignition module (which I also replaced), so I am thinking...
