How to convert to 1 wire alternator on a 70?

[55Mach1 10]

I am piecing together all new accessories for my new 427 mill and planned on doing nice billet pulley and a chrome or polished alternator. All of the nice alternators are 1 wire. NPD sells a conversion but it mentioned it can only handle 60 AMP units, the Alternators i am looking at are 90 and over 100 AMP units

 

 

Can any of you guys explain what is involved doing this? If I convert does my Voltage regulator that is mounted on my passenger fender apron get deleted?

For a 1-wire alternator, the wire goes straight to the battery.

 

Yes, the voltage regulator on the fender is no longer needed and can be removed.

 

Some 1-wire alternators are just regular alternators with he coil exciter wire removed. What this means is that the alternator needs to self energize and typically won't start working until you rev the engine past 2000rpm. So make sure you do some research into this.

I bought a polished 100a 3G alternator. It is internally reglated and has a "sense" wire that monitors battery charge and alternator output. I dont think its considered a "one wire".

Is this a sfe reliable option? I was lookimg at their polished versions. So all you need to do is run a hot lead from the alternator to the battery or hot side of starter solenoid on the fender apron?
