  You don't want to disconnect the pos wire from the battery
when an alt is running.  I'm sure you're just disconnecting the 
wire from the alt but just in case, I thought I'd mention it.
  Check your pos wire from the alt to the battery.  I've seen 
charging problems from a corroded B+ wire where it meets the 
battery cable.
