If all of the system is dead, then you have more problems than your alternator. Don't forget the ground side of the system. (It's as important as the possitive side, more so on a fiberglass car!) Start from your battery (since you do have power there) and work your way up to the front. Use one of the cheap light testers to make it easy to see "go or no go" at each point. Concentrate on the common points like ignition switch, fusible links (may be more than one) or even the battery connections.
