Adam, some of those voltmeters dont have very much/good resolution, but I would still expect it to rise from the battery voltage setting not running of 12.6 volts to near 14 when running wide open and the lights should glow noticeably brighter form setting to wide open running IFFFFFFFFF its charging. Is there still an ammeter that works you can wire in??? If so the alternators main output (assuming thats what the kit uses???) wires to the ammeters Load side, same place the BAT terminal on a VR or Cutout relay used to wire, and its other supply side wires to the battery/starter maybe at the starter switch or solenoid where the big battery cable attaches. Is it a one wire or a 3 wire alternator?? If a 3 wire it needs excitaion voltage supplied on its lil side No. 1 terminal and if a one wire it may still need flashed before it kicks in.

The only way to tell if its charging is if the battery voltage rises from its normal 12.6 volts and/or the ammeter shows a charge and/or the lights glow brighter at Rpm.
