Single Wire Alternator

[money pit]

Are there any disadvantages to switching to a single wire alternator? I have to replace my voltage regulator and was thinking of replace both the regulator and the alternator. Is there one brand alternator that is better than others? Thanks

I have been using a Powermaster one wire alternator for a few years. If I remember correctly I bought the 95 Amp--part 75191 I think.

Have you had any problems?

I went to 1 wire when I converted to a serpentine setup. It is a 100a chrysler style unit from cvfracing. Works great. Just be sure to have the correct gauge wire (ie 6 gauge) going to the battery since the OE wire is too small.

Thanks. That's good to know.
