hi all
happy new year!  may the new year bring all of us peace and prosperity.

because it's a holiday, i have some time to spend on the roadster.  i have 
had to jump it lately, so i wanted to see what the alternator was putting 
out.  (battery mounted on passenger side of the trunk)  it wasn't good (12.8 
at idle, and drops from there to 6 or 7 with the lights on).  i wanted to 
upgrade to the "one-wire" delco, so i guess now is the time.

is this something that i can do myself?  i mean, with my obviously limited 
knowledge and skill.  what else must i change?  how is it that only one wire 
comes out of the delco and five or so come out of mine?  do i need new 
mounting hardware?  is there a "kit" for doing this swap?

thanks a million for all your help.
