you may want to read this artical first. I have a one wire on a 57 chev and have very little electrical draw on that car and have no problems (yet). I also have a one wire on a 46 chev that has the normal street rod up dates. I have had several power failures where I actually pulled the battery down to less then 10 volts and everything went dead. I lost my lights, motor died, that was scary on a two lane road doing 70 mph and lost of traffic.

Iam street rodding a 46 p-15, it will have a 3 wire alternator. If you read this all the way threw and see how the two are wired and the disadvantages of the one wire you may change you mind.
