Here's his take on the subject, quoted from my old thread when I was having alternator issues:

Just some food for though.
A 1 wire alternator will work but it want have the capability to control the charge like the 3 wire.
A 1 wire will charge at the same amount no matter what the load is on the battery are the rpm of the motor, where a 3 wire will only charge at a rate enough to keep the battery at a constant charge so it want ever under charge it are over charge it.
