Can anyone tell me how to convert my 70 external regulator Alt to a one wire internal regulator set up? I see that it's been addressed on 1st gens, but haven't been able to fine an early second gen. Thanks, in advanve.

Have you inquired at www.nastyz28.com they are more of the 2nd generation folks there. Im sure some of them have done it. :) Most of us are first gen in here but they might be the same setup, Im not sure but someone will comment soon.

One wires are simple, just the big wire to the original charge wire, to the battery or horn relay, but they are not the best. One is the GEN light will no longer work, plus other reasons, see here

It would be better to use a internally regulated alternator wired as a 3 wire.
Converting is easy, see pic below, works for 10SI's too.

If you are electrically challenged or do not want to cut your original harness, you can get conversion kits that make converting to a internally regulated alternator a "plug and play" deal, see here http://www.americanautowire.com/products/Alternator_Conversion_Kits.cfm
