I've been doing alot of studying about the cucv electrical system here lately, & have a question for some of you, more electrically inclined individuals than me. (I don't know much about electrical systems & I can prove it) I've been restoring & hotrodding chevy trucks for quite a few years now, & I've always replaced my alternators (when I needed to) by having them rebuilt as one wire alternators. It always seemed to make my electrical systems simpler & cleaner. Do any of you electrical gurus have any reason why this shouldn't be done on these cucvs?? All of these old alternators are going to need rebuilding ,sooner or later & it won't hardly cost anymore. It seems like a simple enough upgrade & after all.. they are just 100 amp, 12 volt alternators.(only one wire going directly to the battery) I realize the right (pass side) alt will need an extra isolated ground wire, but is this a good idea or not.... & why?? Please excuse my ignorance on this subject & enlighten me. THANKS IN ADVANCE... John
