82 FORD VAN ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING?

I HAVE AN 82 FORD 150 XL 6 CYLINDER 4.9 L ENGINE. MY ALTERNATOR SEIZED WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I REPLACED IT WITH A REBUILT ONE - 100 AMP. THE NEW ALTERNATOR IS NOT CHARGING THE BATTERY. THE VOLTAGE IS 12.3 THE BATTERY IS A BOSCH PREMIUM POWER PART #35-640B / CCA O DEGREE F 640 / CA 32 DEGREE F 770 / RC MIN 25 AMPS: 100 . THE BATTERY IS APPROX. 5 WEEKS OLD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR APPROX. 7 YEARS AGO, WHEN ANOTHER BATTERY FAILED. DID I DAMAGE THE BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR. IS THIS BATTERY GOOD ENOUGH?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

With the engine running, look for around 14.5 volts with a meter across the battery. You could well have bought a dud alternator here, but be aware that if the battery leads are disconnected at any time with the engine running, then the alternator will fail.
