Wiring question

I have a 1965 F100 crew cab with a cc dash (sweep speedo) with the additional gauges. I also installed a one wire alternator.

Anyone know of a way to wire the alt light so it works correctly?

Not with a 1 wire that I'm aware of. That's one small negative aspect of the 1 wire alternator. A 3 wire would have the indicator light wire you're looking for though.

One wire alternator. Make the idiot light work!

I ordered a piece from Ron Francis that senses when the voltage falls below 11V and then lights the idiot light.

I wanted a one wire alternator and also the idiot light to function. This appears to do the trick.

It's a Ron Francis LS-11 low voltage sensor. Around $28.

I also have the ammeter in the dash.
