<VV> Old/New Alternator Mounts

[Ron]

It's my understanding that a one wire alternator has an internal conversion 
of some sort and are made specifically for those folks who are incapable of 
connecting two wires correctly, even when one is white and the other is 
black.  I wouldn't use one if you gave it to me unless I could convert it 
back to normal and that requires that some parts be replaced.
