Charging Problem- 305 Carb

OK i bought this 305 1985 camaro.. i dont think m uc h is stock... but i can get it running and it will stay running as soon as i turn it off and try to start it .. it won't start?? i have changed the battery... i was having starter problems to before and im just wondering if this was the problem?.... im pretty sure the altenator is working... im going to test it now so if anyone could please help that would be great

That does sound like an alternator problem. Since you need a load tester that can read 10+ Amps unlike a DMM, just bring it to autozone and have them test it.
