Alternator headaches part 2

Hey guys, I got another problem, lol. I tested my alternator(i think) and i got no juice coming out of it at all. (I used a test light and one of those ampmeter testers) I tried every setting on the ampmeter and still had nothing coming out of the alternator. Currently i have multiple wires coming out of the alternator and going various places. My question is this. Is there a one wire alternator or simplified setup that I can do. Thanx.

The alternators & alternator regulators used on 1965/79 F100/350's (except for 90 amps and larger) are the same ones the cars used from 1965 thru the 1979.

Most of the alternators were 55 or 60 amps originally. Occasionally, one will encounter 45 or 70 amp alternators.

The alternator wiring harness used on 1965/79 Ford trucks has the same connector plugs for the alternator and regulator as 1965/73 Mustangs used, and these harnesses have been reproduced.
