if the voltage is low, or not charging at all, id suggest checking the voltage regulator. pretty easy to get out of the alternator, could be that the brushes are worn away.

if you check the voltage across the positive and negative terminals of the battery with the engine running, it should be bout 13.5-14v. if its only 12v, then there is no charge going into the battery.
now...you can tap the alternator to try an free the brushes, if the voltage jumps up, it means the reg is no good and the brushes are gone. will need replacing.

i know this cause i had to go through it the other week on my daily driver (bluebird). i put another reg in it and it was sweet as. also the battery can be dead and not holding charge. maybe you should start with that.
