Re: [AMC-list] One wire alternator

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

The one and three wire alternators are the same except for the regulator. The three wire regulator has the two wire plug on it, no plug on the one-wire, naturally. One of the wires on the plug goes to switched battery voltage, or you can run a jumper from the big battery wire to that position, essentially making the three-wire alternator a one-wire. The second wire in the plug goes to the dash light. So you can easily use a common three-wire alternator.

Yeah you really want the three wire alt - fat charging wire, one to the dash
light, 3rd also goes to battery to measure battery voltage. Batteries will
last longer.
