An alternator really doesn't care which way it rotates. I have run an old external regulator Delco backwards for years and it works fine. The only problem I can see with reverse rotation is the cooling fan. If it has straight blades it will work equally well with CW or CCW rotation, if the blades curve then it is made for one rotation. I run that old Delco turning CCW with a CW fan on it but it has no big electrical load so it has not had a problem with overheating. Post the brand and model alternator and I will try to help troubleshoot your no charge problem.
