Alternator good, but not charging... (starter related?)

I put my engine back in and did the grounds on the back of the heads, then ground the neg. battery to the front of the head. Ran all my wires to the starter (3 O-connectors on the large terminal, 2 on the smaller terminal), but my alternator will not charge my battery! The battery tested fine and the alternator tested fine at autozone and murrays, but there was zero volts (aucutally it measured --.-- on their scanner) going back to the battery to charge it while the car was running.

Anyone have any ideas? Please!

Thanks

Is the alternator turning in the right direction?
