Gentlemen- I currently have a GM one-wire alternator,want to know a couple things: a)Did Ford make a similar 1-wire alt.? b.)If so,which year,make and model should I specify to get the correct part?

I really want to change this for only one reason.I bought a nice polished stainless alternator mount so I could do away with the one I put together when I switched from the stock generator.It is functional,but rather pedestrian looking.Apparently,the bolt spread is wider on the Ford vs. Gm alternators,so I can't use the mount.

I would also consider a standard Ford alternator,if necessary,that would allow me to have a functioning idiot light again.Any help?Steve.

 

Why not a GM 3-wire? I believe you just need to change the diode pack/regulator module on your 1-wire and voila you have a 3-wire, which gives you the idiot light.

I think someone is making Ford alt's that are 1-wire, check around.

Ross,I do already have a Gm 1-wire installed.In fact,it's a 100 amp,nice looking one from Summit.It just won't work with the fancy stainless Y-Block-specific alternator mount I bought when I had the new motor installed.I'm trying to clean up the engine compartment a bit.

Havi,thanks ,I'll check out the link.
