Where did you tap your stator at? 

If you tapped it before the diode bridge, you will have AC output.

Also, did you remove the capacitor?

i would suggest testing your diode pack, test each diode.

I think i just wired it wrong. They called me in to work this afternoon,  But I'll take it to my alternator guy, And have him show me were I screwed up. But I do appreciate the help.
