How many connections do you have at the alt and how many wires?  Did you put in a new regulator at the same time?  Was it charging before?

The voltage on the blue indicates that the car circuit seems okish, little voltage drop.

If there is an extra terminal on the alt it needs to go to ground.

Some reading.
