Default 1 wire alternator.

Anyone running a 1 wire alt? I know its not the typical 3g setup but I need to re-arrange some things for the turbo pipes and a one wire would help eliminate the plug on my stock alt being so close to the pipe as it is now (almost touching)

Can I run a 1 wire on an EFI car? I have a friend with one on his carbed car and it works great..

It will fit, but it is shown on my instructions where you will have to take a burr wheel and grind out just a little of the aluminum bracket to make it fit, nothing major though.
