Take alook at this:http://bob_skelly.home.comcast.net/~bob_skelly/alternator_conversion/wiring_alternator1.html

Excerpt from above web site:

Some of the disadvantages associated with the 1-wire system are:

Less than optimal voltage levels at points downstream from the alternator;
The ignition warning light is omitted;
At startup, a slow-running engine will not be spinning fast enough to turn-on the alternator and the system will be discharging until the throttle is blipped and the engine revs higher than the alternator cut-in speed.
Higher cost than 3-wire equivalent
