It is a one wire and the alternator is new and an exact duplicate of the the one I replaced. After driving it for about 25 miles the amp meter is showing about 12 amps vs the 25 amps before. I am thinking the battery was not fully charged (due to bad previous alternator) and the increase in amps was the new alternator trying to bring the battery back up to full charge. I now have the battery on a charger and will try again tomorrow after a full charge. Should have thought of this before I bothered people with this post.
