Alternator not charging battery

My problem started when 88' 900s wouldn't start after being left overnight or for several hours during the day. I Would jump it in the morning and maybe it would start on the way home from work maybe not. I got a new battery and cleaned up all the contacts and everything seemed fine. Then a week later the battery light turned on but still everything seemed fine. I took the car on a three hour trip and a few miles before reaching my destination I saw that I was over heating. I didn't know what was going on. I filled up with antifreeze and oil and headed for home. I got just 15 miles before the car started over heating again and loosing electrical power. I figured it was the alternator but after changing it out the problem persists. The new alternator is not charging the new battery and I don't know why. The leads from the battery are good. I took the new alternator to get tested and it is fine. What am I missing?
