The instructions I have (courtesy of Power British Performance Parts) have
the 8-10 gauge wire from the alternator connecting to the same solenoid
connector as the wire going back to the battery. Plus someone, don't
remember who (was it you Randall?), had noticed a mistake with the
instructions on VTR and Dan Masters had agreed and stated that he had been
trying to get it corrected for some time.

Paul :
If your solenoid has two side terminals, I'd say you've got the wrong one
connected. (I believe the original solenoid only had one side terminal, but
I've seen replacements that had two.) Otherwise, if the solenoid body is
grounded, I'd say you have a bad solenoid.
Another possibility is a replacement solenoid that requires the second side
terminal to be grounded. These are common on US cars, where either the
neutral or clutch safety switch makes the ground connection.
