Check the ground connections on the battery and on the frame back by the battery. Actuall check the cable ends too. 9 times out of 10 that is the problem.
There is also a ground connection up by the starter from the engine to the chassis.
A quick test when the car won't start is to just take a jumper cable and connect one side to the "-" side of the battery and the other to the chassie somewhere...If the car then starts you have a bad ground somewhere..
To quickly check you charging:
Assuming you still have the firewall mounted starter solenoid installed, Take your volt meter and check the voltage on the right side (drivers side in USA) of the solenoid. (It's always HOT) while the car is running, should be around 13.8 volts.
