While you are at it, why not replace the generator with a 1-wire alternater? I got one from J C Whitney that works fine on my 64 292. I made a homemade alternator bracket very similar to the one recommended. It really solved my weak battery problems.

I re-wired my `63 Uni just like tech article above. I used a 3 wire GM alt. I did mine about 15 years ago, got tired of replacing Gen. brushes every 6-8 months. Has never been a prob since. Been my daily driver for 19 years.
