Vic --
Your one wire alternator is hooked up fine --- a HEAVY gauge wire from the lug on the alternator = down to the POSTIVE battery cable terminal on your starter..
Now here's the thing that most don't know about ALTERNATORS -- they have to be "rev'd" to a certain RPM BEFORE they'll get "excited" and start charging.
Given that you're most likely just starting the car - and letting it idle - might explain why it's not kicking into charge mode.
Give your battery a good overnight charge -- get your motor started -- then don't forget that all important cam break in -- while you're doing that - you can drop a volt ohm meter on the battery and check that it's being charged.
