Steve and others,
What is the advantage of going to a one-wire alternator?

After you convert, if your lifetime guaranteed alternator fails, do you 
get another alternator that you have to convert also?

I assume that Delco makes a one-wire, if so is it better to get a Delco 
so that you can get easy replacement?
