1965 ford galaxie not charging

My father gave me a 1965 Galaxie 2 door with a 289....well all things aside the car runs great stock everything but the problem I am having is the the batery will not charge. He told me that he put a new alternator and voltage regulator and I think the battery is newer. I only measure 7.8 volts on the battery when the car is running witch is way below what I think is should be. I found something on the internet that if I jumpered out the A and F terminals on the plug that plugs in the voltage regulator that I should read max voltage output across the battery... Does anyone have any idea what I can do to figure this out.. I pulled another battery off of my ford escort and put it on ...well with the engine running it showed 12.50 volts....I have no idea where to turn .....If someone could tell me what wires go where on the alternator that would be awesome...I need to check my dads work...lol

 Many chain repair shops do free tests of charging system... -- Mr F, 10/26/2004
 And if the voltage regulator is a 'concours' repro, read these... -- Mr F, 10/26/2004
