Not charging??

I have a 82 f100 302 and It will not charge the battery. I had the alternator tested and it's good. I bought a new battery. I put a new solenoid and cables. What else could it be? Do I have something wired wrong? Or is it the voltage regulator?
Really need help with this

I have a hei dizzy. So when I take it for a ride and shut it off, the battery is too dead to turn it back on.

You are going to have to do some diagnostic work on your charging system.

Grubbworm has some pretty good guides in one of his albums HERE, get out your multimeter (if you don't have one, then purchase one) and start running some tests.
