Robert;

I think Campy is correct with the needed amps and also going to a one wire alternator is a good idea,but you can do it with a plain jane Ford alternator for 40 bucks.....Go to your nearest alternator shop and ask the owner to look thru his catalogs for the little gizmo that goes on the back of the ford alternator,it is a small voltage regulator that screws on the back of your alternator and turns it into a one wire alternator.....I have done it on three so far and all work fine.The part was 40 bucks and takes about two minutes to install....Wish I had the part number for you,but it has been a couple of years since I did one...The guy at the shop thought I was crazy when I asked for the part,but he found it in a parts book and was amazed,did not even know they made such an animal, now he converts them all the time......
