Why is my alternator light still on when I replaced my alternator and battery and regulator on my 1970 Ford Galaxie XL?

The regulator is not making a good ground to fender/firewall, or there is a good chance of broken wire between Regulator and Alternator. there is either 2 or 3 wires between them and possibly were mixed up, should be Field, Stator, and or Bat, allso some Alternators have ground wire be sure its in the right place or you may blow your new Regulator
