I was suggesting a method to find out why it was not charging at low rpms:
The point I was trying to make about pulling the Alternator and having it tested was that the Test Leads and the Ground on the Test Bench are going to be in better shape then the ones on your Car.

If the Alternator works at low rpms (like 750 rpms) on the Test Bench that means you have a problem in your wiring (to include the Ignition Switch) or the Battery (take the Battery with you when you have the Alternator tested and have the Battery teseted also).
