It's the type of alt that it is that matters.
They are called Delcotron's

Try a 7127sw,or 7127se.If the parts goofs can cross that,you should have your part.Those part nimbers are called Lester numbers.

 

[pettybludart]

Welcome,pettyblu.

Autozone offers one with no vehicle application. You just have to somehow know what you want. The part # is DL7140m. The box even says "GM 1-wire" on it. Just in case.

Just have to find time to make an alternator adjuster bracket.Time to get creative.

The problem I have with these types is "what do I do when it quits?"

The regulator is a non- standard item, Summit might not have them 6mo., a year, 5 years from now, and the parts stores have no idea what they are.

If you want an easy warranty the next time around, Autozone and other retail parts houses keep 1-wires on the shelf with lifetime warranties. When it goes bad just take it in and they give you another one.

I put a summit one wire chrysler alternator on my dads old power wagon 10 years ago.
Still works fine.

I also have one from Jegs on my Duster just put on last winter, it was like $80.00 bucks shipped.

Also many years ago put the one wire gm on a small block chrysler, what a pain to fabricate the brackets, never again will I do that.

After building the 66 Dart into a race car,minitubs,8 point cage,frame connectors,3inch spring relocation and the fenderwell hedders.Making a bracket for the 1 wire alternator should be a breeze.

Good luck, it is a big wide alt. It will fit.
You also need the gm wiring plug to the back, I am pretty sure NAPA sells it or any junk yard.
I am sure you can do it.

You don't need a plug for a "one wire." ('s why they CALL it a "one wire.") By the way, you can convert ANY GM integral 10/12SI to "one wire" just by putting the correct regulator in it.
