We're running the March Serpentine belt system on our 347 in our '65 coupe. This system uses a GM single wire, internally regulated alternator. Has anyone had experience modifying the harness to eliminate the regulator? If so, what are the mods?

I just bought my 100 amp 1 wire alternator today and want to make the change ASAP. I'm really excited, and looking forward to getting rid of my charging problems!
