Getting the smoke back in once it gets out is hard to do.

I'm assuming that this is an internally regulated alternator (no voltage regulator on the firewall).

Pull the big wire off of the alternator. Hook the battery back up. If everything works except it won't charge replace the alternator and consider yourself lucky.
