Sounds like a bad Alt? You can usually bring it to a parts shop and have it tested for free...

Since the engine's been out, you can also check to see if all your power cables are OK. Loose/corroded connections at the alternator? Check BOTH ENDS of the big battery cables, and both ends of the big engine/body ground cable.
