Post 1979 T-bird just wont charge battery

I'm at the end of my rope! I've tried every thing and nothing seems to work, the charging system in my 79 t-bird just won't charge the battery.
Heres what I've done.
NEW alternator and belt
NEW battery
checked and cleaned connections between alternator and battery,and voltage regulator
NEW voltage regulator
removed all fuses from fuse box
dissconnected all electrical items (power seat,radio.ect)
checked fusible links under hood.
It's strange the old voltage regulator Overcharged the battery while the new ones show an undercharge.
No matter what I do I always get 12.30 volts across the batery terminals instead of the 14-15v
Anybody haave any Ideas?
