I don't think you have to do anything. I have just one wire running from the Alt. to the starter.

There is more to it than just swapping them. The alternator is wired differently, a modern one has an internal voltage regulator. It's not a hard swap, but the wiring is different.

Check with the gurus in the electrical forum. I'm sure this topic has been covered before.
