Ammeter bypass turning over alternator

Didn't want to tinker too much with it today due to the rain. However I did go through and try to clean up firewall connections and alternator terminal make sure that was tight.

So, the battery is currently at 12.2v
When testing the alternator with the car completely off I have 5.5v going to the alternator battery leg.

In addition I just tested with car in run position:
Battery 10.6
Blue wire @ voltage regulator 9.8
Green wire @ regulator 7.8
Black battery wire @ alternator 5.6
Green wire @ alternator 7.8
Ammeter 10.2 on red 10.0 on black

Im attaching some photos of the alternator (the connector at the alt looks rough but its tight. I have to replace it)
