I think your problem lies in the fact that you don't have ( or at least it's not on the diagram) an "exciter" circuit to start the alternator. Normally this would be the light on the dash but a 500 Ohm resistor does the same thing and tells the alternator to get to work. I'd switch out the ammeter for a voltmeter too.
