Replaced alternator with rebuilt one, same results..

I replaced my alternator with a rebuilt one, still getting the same voltages as before.

I spent a lot of time under the car with a huge light, and could not find a ground strap . The ground from the battery is attached to the frame in the battery compartment. I pulled that, cleaned, sanded, and di-electric greased it and put it all back together as tight as I could get it, but to no help.

Also, noticed that the alternator wiring harness was very brittle/corroded. I WD-40'd it and put it back together with lots of di-electric grease. Still looks suspect though. Could this be part of my problem?

Also, can you buy the entire wiring harness assembly from the battery to the alternator?
