A single wire altinator is a simple swap and instructions can be found in the search on the board butttt, before you spend money on this---there are two very small in line fuses located on the engine wiring harness that can cause problems. Each one is a inline fuse located at the front corners of the harness---one between the battery and the fender on the pass side and one in about the same location on the drivers side. If one of these is blown, your gauge will not register and you may not get charge so check them first. If the alternator shorted and you blew the diodes, they would need to be replaced for it to work. You can take the alt to any auto parts place for free checking--auto zone, napa, etc.
