Alternator ID & Help

Actually you could use the "one wire" you just would not be using your old regulator, Also,


I just don't care for "one wire" units personally. Voltage drop problems in the stock harness could make these worse in some cases, because the "voltage sense" is AT THE ALTERNATOR and not closer to the battery

I hate to butt in here but: contrary to what you mentioned the "voltage sense" with a one wire alternator is "quite a bit closer" to the battery than the factory units. Think about this, battery to fusable link to bulk head to ammeter back out bulk head to alternator power stud for the one wire.

Battery, fusable link, bulkhead, ammeter, ign. switch, bulkhead, splice outside in the engine compartment then to the regulator then to the alternator for the factory setup.
