Correction: A 100 amp alternator may be needed, but I'll never go with a 1-wire. Here's why:
"For most applications, the advantages of a THREE-WIRE alternator will far outweigh the little time saved with a ONE-WIRE installation."
"Both types have the voltage regulator in the alternator, but there are important differences between the ONE-WIRE and THREE-WIRE systems."
"The THREE-WIRE advantages are even more important in recent years – more powerful alternators are often installed on Hot Rods and they must support a more power hungry electrical system."

I'm very happy with my 130 amp, 3-wire Ford 3G alternator and see no reason to downgrade.
