Make positively sure your wires on the regulator are connected correctly. I had the same problem, on my "69, after taking off the (in this case external) voltage regulator for painting and mis-connected the wires. Everything ran well, but the battery would not charge. If not that, then have the (I know it's new) alternator tested. Mine on my "70 was a new replacement and when the battery went dead, I had it tested and it was no good.

Re: battery not charging

Did you re-ground the voltage regulator to the radiator core support and to the alternator?
