Re: one wire alt.

[Herb <zephyr9900@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, one wire is really GM terminology for their alternators with a built
in voltage regulator (VR), the terminology kind of got commingled with MoPar
because of the number of field wires on our alternators.  Your 63 had one
battery wire and one field wire with a mechanical external voltage regulator
new.  Newer MoPars had one battery wire and two field wires and an external
electronic voltage regulator.  MoPar uses external VRs so we really don't
have a one wire alternator.  Additionally I have seen people convert over to
GM alternators on their MoPars with NO gain just the aggravation of getting
it to align building brackets.  Also over all dependability is with us I
have run into far less charging problems with MoPar systems than GMs.

On your 63 if it has a factory wiring harness I would only upgrade to 60 amp
much more and you will be stress testing your system every time you run it. 
What type of Alt/VR do you have on your car now?

hi all

what alt. would be best  60 or 90amp..if i wanted to go with a one wire set

any advantage with the one wire set up.
