Re: 59 Apache one wire alternator.
When I bought my 10SI at the parts store I told them it was for a Camaro with a/c. I think it is a 68 amp model. I also only have a wire to T2 terminal and I don't have to rev my engine to start it charging even after my truck sits for a month. It's been like this since I wired the truck about six years ago and so far it has been fine. Sometimes I think about putting a "Battery" light some where on my dash and wiring it like these alternators were designed to be wired but so far it hasn't been a priority. I am using my original amp gauge with no problem, but I added a jumper across two of the extra tabs on the back of it. The jumper divides the current going through the gauge and has worked fine for the six years or so that I've had it like that.
