Just to try to rule out more items, I jumped the voltage regulator and I was able to get voltage out of the alternator. With that, I put the old voltage regulator back in. I was hopeful that whatever was wrong was fixed, but no such luck. I unattached the red wire and ran one from the alternator to the solenoid. It seems like the alternator is now generating more current than the battery. My thoughts, at this point, are that I may be able to run some new wires and get some positive results. The light above the ignition goes off when it is running, but the amp meter still stays negative. The ignition light going off is the most progress I have made in days. Hopefully this works enough for me to rule out some things.
