Is your 49 a pick up, a truck or a car? From first glance the new regulator appears to be bad and shorted. Removing the new regulator may have removed the short circuit. and you appear to be left with some damage.
Start with one problem and trouble shoot that. The starter turns when the solenoid is jumpered so the circuit that picks up the solenoid or the solenoid itself may be bad.
