i have one on mine too and it wouldn't charge just runnin the 1 wire so i have to wire and use the plug too...

can u send me a pic and what wire goes where it would rele help me out
thankyou derek

The GM one-wire alternator will not charge after the engine is started.
You have to rev it up to activate the internal regulator in the alternator.
After that, it should start charging.
If it does not charge in idle, you may need to speed up the alternator by reducing the pulley diameter.

It becomes a 3-wire if you hook up the battery wire, voltage sensing wire and ignition/warning lamp power wire.
