tpi to carb alternator question

Hi everyone, I have a tpi setup and just pulled my wiring harness to convert to carb. I was wondering how people hooked up their 3 wire alternators, or do I need to buy a one wire alternator? Also, with the wiring harness disconnected, I noticed that the windshield wiper motor was part of the harness. How am I supposed to hook up the wiper motor if its part of the harness? Thanks for any help.

I thought there was 2 harnesses... one that powers everything like the wiper motor, and the alt, etc.... and one that connects the sensors to the ECM......

no its actually all together. i removed mine. so i need to rewire all the things like the wiper motor and the tach etc. what i am doing is splicing wires where i need to and soldering them together. once i get everything who it needs to be im gonna run that tubing around them.

What kind/year is it? You should'nt have to remove any of the wiring you stated, just seperated it.
