I Just did the alternator upgrade Monday. I bought a single wire 65 amp
Delco Alternator from a shop here in Ft Lauderdale. I was much larger then
the stock unit. To my surprise it bolted right in with only a slight
misalignment (needs to shim forward). The one wire hook up was great. Left
the old regulator and harness right where they were. Might need them some
day.
Works great!
