IML: Alternator question

I just replaced the big alternator (117 amp) in my '83 with a smaller old
style one. Why I had to is a long story, but hopefully will have a happy
ending. The alternator I put on was from a car that has been sitting unused
for 20 years. My plan was to fit the brackets and wiring and then rebuild
it with a 105 amp kit. The car no longer has efi or a/c, so it shouldn't be
a big deal. How do you test the alternator? DVM across the battery
terminals it reads about 15.3-15.7 volts. Is that good or too much? I tried
to read from the batt terminal and a ground, but couldn't get a reading
(it's cold and dark). I'd like to know if it's working or if I'm going to
fry anything. What do I check?
Thanks,
Rob
