Default installed new alternator, still not charging, Help!

Hi Guys,
Need help! Got a track day this coming Thursday!
Installed a new alternator because the system was not charging!
With new Alternator it is still not charging. I took the old the old alternator back to the auto parts store and it tested good.
What other checks can I do?
This started after I replaced my clutch slave cylinder. When I removed the wires from the starter could I have screwed it up that way? The car starts fine but
the battery is not charging.

Thanks,
Bob

Did you connect the alternator cable back to the starter? There should be two big cables bolted to the starter, and a small one to the smaller post. Is the small wire on the alternator loose?
