hey i got a 87 that all switched over to carb. fuel system, msd ignition, the whole nine. all i got left is the alternator. since the comp and the better part of the wiring is in the trash, and i bought a 130 amp 3g right before i did the conversion. i was wondering if there is any way to convert my alt. to a one wire setup.

No need to do that...

Stangnet 3G install sticky 3G Alternator Install: A How To - Mustang Forums at StangNet

If that won't work for you, wire it like and 85 Mustang...

3G install into an 85 or earlier Mustang:


I would recommend the addition of a 2 amp fuse on the Light Green/Red wire that goes to the switched ignition.
I would use a maximum of 150 amp fuse for the output wire that connects to the starter solenoid.
