First think I would check the brushes, which should come out the back on an assy. which mounts with 2 screws and has the wires coming out which go to the VR (talking Bosch here).
If you have a seperate VR on the fender, you could try jumping it, but you better know what you are doing as you could make some big sparks and maybe some burnt wires if you connect it wrong. Basically what you want to do is apply 12v to the field terminal of the alternator. That should cause it to go to full output, around 17volts, so you really don't want that on too long like that.
If I were you, I'd get a used alternator from a 240 and put it on. The VR is built in and at least you would know that it was working.
