Default charging problems please help

i have an 87 ttop full bolt on hci, tfs heads, f cam, rpm 2 upper and lower and pa 130 alternator, it doesnt charge what so ever now, it runs on battery. i got a new alternator shipped from pa, checked all fusible links even ran them direct, as well as ran 4g wire from the alternator to the battery. it doesnt seem to charge, i have gotten to the point where i want to run new wires all the way thru. does any one know where i can find a charging diagram?? or does anyone have any other ideas?? anything will help thanks

i would get the alt. tested before you reroute everything. i know its new but hey you never know. also with motor running take a volt meter and test the output side of the alternator if nothing wiggle your connector alittle and see if you get anything, this is to make sure its not just the connector, also you need the best ground possible so check them and clean them as nessesary
