Can't help you on that GM 1 wire alt. They call it a 1 wire, but most I've seen have 2 wires, so I'm confused. LOL! Gene


Poorboy is close on the distributor. The HEI system needs full voltage not the lower coil voltage of the Mopar system. Take the power from the keyed side of the ballast resistor.

As for the alternator, iirc the second small wire is for a warning light. Not needed for the alternator to function. But you do have to bring the rpms up to activate the internal regulator. Honestly id keep the stock charging system because of the tricks you can do in case of roadside failure of the regulator or wiring.
