Connecting and disconnecting the positive lead on a working alternator may harm the voltage regulator (or something else). If your alternator is self-excitingand doesn't have a field wire (not to be mistaken for the dash light wire), then you're more or less screwed. Someone here tried re-soldering ther electronics of a self-exciting alt, but I'm not sure if it worked.
