It's not charging I bought a new battery and that wasn't the problem. I've changed alternator 3 times but they were used and it's still not charging.

Hi,

Do me a favor. There is a fusible link that supplies power to the alternator. It runs between the starter and the alternator. A fusible link looks like a regular wire, but it is made to blow like a fuse if it gets too much voltage.

So, the main power supply on the alternator needs checked. See if there is 12v to it. I attached a pic below showing what I'm referring to.

Let me know what you find.
