volts too high

my 78 truck now has a 95 360, including the alternator. the volts at the battery and the ballast resistor read normal but the gauge in the dash reads off the scale. the ammeter in the dash reads normal. the alternator is wired the same as the original 318's. any suggestions?

This may or may not be relevant but......You have a 95 360 in your truck, why do you have a ballast resistor? Are you useing the fuel injection and PCM from the 95 or did you convert it?
Also, you say you have the alternator wired like the original 318, if you are using the PCM, it has the VR in it.
Again, I don't know if this is relevant to your problem, but I thought I'd ask.
