I did the GM alt per 311s.org when I first got my '66. While cheap and easy, I 
wouldn't do it again as it's pretty big and looks totally out of place on a 
roadster engine. If you were nearby, Paul, I'd give it to you.

There are much better options today.

If you don't mind a slightly modern look, the 93mm Denso (see 311s.org 
TechWiki) is nice and small.

I'm going w/ a later Nissan-style alt w/ IR (search on "14255") on my '67. You 
still have to modify the alternator bracket (differently than for the GM alt), 
but it's 50A-60A, slightly larger than the stock alt and doesn't look out of 
place.

Cheers,

Pete

Paul,

Not exactly sure what you are trying to do. You can take your current 
alternator to a parts house & verify if itâ??s good or not. If itâ??s bad, the 
GM one wire is good but there are other smaller Hitachi units that fit better. 
Iâ??m getting ready to fit a 280z one wire to my engine, probably next week. I 
can let you know how it fits if you like. 

Peace,
Pat
