MG MGA - Alternator Working

I'm a moron

Went back and checked everything over. No volts from the alternator to the block, and less than 11 volts between the two battery terminals.

Went back and recheced all the wiring. Decided to check to see if the engine warning light worked. Thats when I found the problem. The bulb was broken off in the socket, and created a dead short.

After replacing the bulb I got 14+ volts off the alternator and at the battery. Not sure why, but it works.
