What would need to be done to upgrade to the newer style single wire alternators? I've been looking at some nice chrome 100 amp ones but they don't have the plug on the side like my stock one does. If I want a chrome case one like the oe then it's an extra 50 bucks.

maybe you should try a different supplier. i have gotten one for my 75 that does either way. didn't cost anymore for it as all you had to do was pull out a cap they have over the plug connection. the plug is some sort of jumper to be able to use it with single wire.

Thanks eddie! I just went and got one like you described. I was just getting mad because there was a nice chrome 100 amp one on sale but it was a single wire. This is my first time working on a corvette and GM for that matter. I've used GM single wire alts before on older trucks, but sharks stock one with the plug on the side was confusing me doh I got it figured out though. This site was really helpfull breaking down the differences between all the Delco alternators.
