Not Ranked
On my 43,000 + mile SPF, with a Windsor stroker, i run the 60 amp ford unit, three wire, it has worked fine. I am aware of several folks that have had trouble getting a one wire to work, plus, an one wire has to have a certain mininim rpm to switch to charge. Something i don't fully understand, actually. I have found that alternators last 7-15k miles, before the engine compartment heat kills the rectifier in them. I just take the alternator off, have my local alternator shop put in a new one for $35 and put it back on. Less than an hour all told. Cheap. Once had a wire vibrate the nut off the back, went to full charge, and damaged my voltage regulator, put on a new one on a trip at a NAPA parking lot for about $20 or so. This is a two minute replacement.
The 60 amp powers everything i run, with no problems.
You are gonna have fun with your car.
