      Did a little work today. I finally got tired of the crappy 1g alt but really didn't want to rewire my entire charging system for the 3g. So I bought a nice shiny 100amp one wire from summit racing.

          Sweet. So how different is the installation for a 1 wire?

            All you have to do is run a hot wire from the alt to the + batt terminal. Super easy.

              Vs 2 wires for a 3G. Its 50% less work.

                So does that one wire have an internal regulator? I did the 3G swap, but I still have 3 different wires I believe. Would that alternator you bought work the same? I want to clean up my wires, and that seems the easiest and best looking. Can you link the part number too please?

                  Yeah its internally regulated. This is the one I used but there are lots of ones you can.

                    One of the problems with most 1 wire alternators is that they don't charge well at idle. They're often worse than the stock 1g alternators. The 3g has very good idle output. Its literally 2 wires. The big wire to the starter relay, and one small wire that splices to the existing red/green on the external regulator. ALl of the rest of it goes in the scrap wire bucket. There are 2 short jumpers right on the alternator itself but they go between points on the alternator case, so it barely counts.

                        Very awesome car still. I hope to break 8.5 with the giggle gas, then I'll come to Florida and give you a run. Any new mods for it anytime soon?

                                THat will spiral out of control before you know it. There was a baby Ltd featured in 5.0 magazine a while back like that. It started out as a 5.0L with bolt-ons; then a 351W; which got poked and stroked to 408W; then the Dart block was purchased and displacement went to 434 or something like that. At the time the mag came out, the owner was considering a big block in the 600+ cu in range. These projects start innocently enough. Good to see somebody still running. It's gonna be awhile up here.
