where did you measure on the alt? if you were touching the stud or nut on the alt i would say it is safe to assume connection is good, if you measured on the ring terminal or cable then it is possible there is bad connection.
only other thing i can think of to check is the signal wire at the alternator. if it isnt getting voltage, the alternator will not charge coils and will not output voltage. if it is getting voltage, then i would assume the alternator is bad.
