Oh puhlease......she don't need a chebby alternator on there,it's a simple system that has worked for over four decades....she's tryin to fix it right not rigg it up.two components to the system that can be tested for free at the local auto parts store and the wiring which is simple also.wish you lived closer it'd be workin already.

I believe she just said it is a single wire system already. So you are dealing with a chebby system.
