[Mgb-v8] Alternator question

Won't an original type fit somehow?  Aren't most alternators of a similar 
size?  If it's a packaging problem isn't it the mounting position that has 
to change?   And what do you mean by a 'one wire'?  I've seen at least two 
definitions of this - really only one wire, the output wire, which means you 
lose the diagnostics of the warning light (and how is the alternator 
excited?) and "No I mean one wire plus the indicator wire"!
