Adam: look into a GM "one wire" conversion. The GM alt only needs one
wire hooked up to the Pos. side of the solenoid. It is internaly
regulated, so there's no other wires. Check "Hot Rod" or "street rodder"
or the Summit Racing catalog for prices and suppliers. Mr. Gasket makes
a chrome universal bracket kit for the Gm alt. that should be adapatalbe
to our car.
Also, check out some JApanese cars at a wrecking yard. Some of them
have alternators the size of a grapefruit!
