2 wire has a live wire to energise the field where as the single wire alternator self energises and does not need the powered feed.
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

a 1 wire 100 amp alternator.
The easyest way is to go with a 1 wire alternator (self exciting). Find or make brackets that will work, mount the alternator and run 1 wire from the alternator to the battery.
Buy a one wire hook up alternator and route about a 10ga wire from its output terminal to your battery positive or to fuse block, use a piece of fusible link or a circuit breaker rated about the same as your new alternator.
A one wire alternator has one wire that sends electricity to the battery and electrical system. They usually always have an internal regulator.
AWG is American wire gauge and SWG means Standard wire gauge .. swg+1=awg according to my calculation...
You can tape them off and tuck them away. One wirewas for the idiot light and the other wire was a trigger wire to excite the old alternator.

there should be an alternator "plug" which consists of 2 wires that go to a plastic plug that snaps into the alternator. the wire lead should be a part of the engine wire harness located on drivers side firewall about 1 1/2 feet below wiper deck. the alternator itself has a screw off back side that can be removed for internal wiring issues related solely to the alternator itself. i would buy a manual from your local auto parts store (or order it in) for the 80 TA it should have a diagram for the alternator wiring with an exploded view.
The conditions are:- 1. If there will be frequency difference between the alternator and power line. 2.If they will not be in same phase sequence.
A distributor cap holds all the wires, A coil only has 1 wire in the top of it.
one has an A at the end and one has a B at the end.
