YA,  Every one knows GM stands for Get a Mechanic!  Jack can make that
alternator work on his 63 by just grounding one of the fields to the case.

There is a really great alternator I use for any old Mopar.  Just go to
your local parts store and order a replacement alternator for a 1985
Chrysler Fifth Avenue, with the "high amperage option".  This is a dual
field, 78 amp alternator that will bolt right up to your car's current
brackets, and only costs about $45.00 all day long.
 
This amperage is too high for our stock old cars, but there is an easy
fix for this, too:  Simply run a good-sized second charge wire from the
alternator directly to the big stud on the starter relay, and use a
fusible link.  Only downside is your amp gauge won't read properly
anymore.  Buy a cheap voltmeter, which only needs be connected to ANY
wire under the dash that is powered up with the ignition switch.  I
prefer a voltmeter to an amp gauge, anyway.
 
Finally, the other posters are right.  Stay away from one-wire
alternators.  They were invented for farm tractors.
