Check the earth on the alternator [connect a volt meter between the alt case and the neg batt terminal]
If you read more than half a volt then you got a bad ground on your alternator.Also check the resistance of the main wire going from the alt to the battery[also batt terminals [think simple]
I would think there's a short in the circuit somewhere that's draining the battery.
Does it have a voltage regulator? It's possible that the power generated by the alternator isn't recharging the battery.
It's also possible that one of the terminals on the alternator isn't connected properly, I had that happen in my hot rod once and it cost me a bundle to find out it was bad connector i could have fixed for 5$
I hate electrical problems.
