GM one wire alt.

Does any one have a diagram to hook up a GM one wire alt. on a 67 f100. My alt. ain't charging so I was thinking about putting the one wire alt on. Thanks Eric

Why does it require a diagram when it's only one wire? If it's
truely one wire just hook it to the battery side of the starter
solenoid like the ford alternator.

I don't know if the old wires has to be wired to it or if all of the old wires can be removed. I think the wires from the alt goes into the truck to the ignition doesn't it? Eric

Yes, the original ford and even the original chevy have wires
going to the ignition putting the alternator on or offline to
the battery. The one wire alternators have a "self exciting"
regulator that takes itself online/offline automatically.
