Amps and volts are two different things. When running, the alt. should be putting out more than 14 amps. I'm not talking down to you, but you have to check the voltage at the battery. That little brown wire is what makes the alt. work, If it doesn't have 12 volt at that point, the battery will not charge. With the engine running take the volt meter and put the black wire to a good ground (engine block) and touch the red wire to the post on the back of the alt. what voltage do you have? Should be 12-14 volts, if it is, do as 59chevy36 and hot rod lincoln said run a jumper from the post on the back of the alt. to the battery. Check the voltage with the volt meter at the battery, should be between 12 and 14 volts. If it is problem fixed, with the exception of finding out where those wires under the dash are going. You don't want a loose wire shorting something out.
