Hi guys,
I am searching for a small alternator for my Ford FE engine. Should be a one-wire System with about 100 amp.
Which one are you running and which one coulkd you recommend ?
Thanks,
Stephan

I'm running a GM 140 amp 10SI on my KC Pond 482 side-oiler. I had a one wire but the voltage output was significantly less than a properly wired 3 wire setup. It actually caused my engine cooling fan to run quite a bit slower (a bad thing). Luckily my Powermaster one wire alternator was easily converted to a 3 wire. I would never run a one wire again.

I run a 3g unit from PA Performance. You order a conversion harness with it for 1-wire usage. I've had no issues with mine. 95A unit handles EFI and a high output fan without a problem.
