What's the voltage across the battery with the engine idling and no accessories on?

If at idle as Hammer suggested that isn't charging anything - just using up what is there till dead. If the grey voltage regulator external it should or may have marks to "ground here to test" with a voltmeter on battery would spike up volts - just do that quickly and not allow high voltage if it will.
See if pic shows.....
If not look for it. Plug end of YOUR harness could be the trouble - how does it look? Burnt? Was common on some - premade w solder fittings used to be available if so or messed up right there. Just a maybe for these,

Tom's test doesn't much now. You have a new alternator and regulator so they are all one unit and under warranty.
Check for power on the yellow with white wire all the time and the light green with red when the key is on.

What worries me with these type parts if remanufactured is I've seen just cleaned up stuff - nice shiny finish but not really redone in full. Zero failures on new but of course you pay tons more but so do the failures,

That's entirely possible but we have to verify the correct inputs to the alternator before going after the parts house.

Check the 15amp fuse in the engine compartment fuse box labeled "alternator"
