Check your multimeter against someone else's car while that's running, to make sure it shows 14+v. If it does, your alternator is tired (or the battery/alternator/ground connection terminals are high resistance due to being dirty/corroded). If it still shows 12v, either you're very unlucky picking another car with a knackered alternator, or your multimeter is reading incorrectly...
Ok mate I'll try multimeter on another motor see if it's that

I never managed to try meter on another motor but the alternator I fitted today was a known good working one which was reading 14.7v when it was fitted to my mates car before he removed it I even made sure the belts were a little tighter on this one but still same readings like I said I've taken off the earthing cables from the battery and the rocker cover/engine mount to clean up but is there anymore I can remove and clean??

Still no change in voltage with cleaning up all earthing points properly

Clean! Just make sure you get that distributor back in the same place or your ignition timing will be out
