The Ford Barn

I could use the help. Im overwhelmed right now trying to keep them running and i have one more to get out of the weather. I cant get that one(coupe) to start at all. It'll turn over just wont run. Ive got spark at the points. These things sat for 2 or 3 years without moving. I drained the gas out of the tanks but not the carbs. Anyways back to this one that started the thread. The sedan i disconnected the alternator and the ammeter just showed a slight discharge. The number on alternator says 12v negative. Is there a way to test the output voltage of the alternator?
