so if the charging light is burned out it could cause the alternator to
not work right which would cause the other dash lights to not come on?

Kaleb,
The initial alternator excite current comes through the charge light and if
the light does not come on then your charging circiuit will never work
right. Some alternators will self start most of the time and I suspect that
the alternator you installed is one of these.

Well I ended up swapping out the alternator and that solved the charging
problem but my lights are still not coming on. They are not burned out
because after the engine was running turned on headlights to see if the
light out indicator came on(have a headlight out) which it did. What is
it that is supposed to make all the lights come on before startup?

The battery light should come on and if not, your issue might be soemthing
as simple as a burned out charge (battery) bulb.

Messing with my 560 again today. Basically its not charging at all.
Put a different voltage regulator on it from another alternator I had
laying around and it made no difference. Either both were bad(the
replacement regulator had longer brushes) or something else is my
problem. I guess I will probably just have to swap out the whole
alternator. I did notice however that when the key is turned on, and
before the engine is started, the only lights that come on in the
cluster is the o2 light and the SRS light. None of the others, oil
level, coolant level, battery etc come on. Im not sure exactly what the
deal is with that. If the alternator was bad would it cause these
lights to not come on? Or is there some other problem that doesnt allow
the lights to come on and also keeps alternator from charging? Seems I
heard somewhere that if the battery light does not come on either
because its burned out or whatever the alternator will not charge.
Thanks
