gm 3 wire to a 2 wire alternator
i currently swapped a 76 350 for my ol 305, my old alternator connector was a 3 wire and my new alternator is a 2 wire, any wiring advice?

It is somewhat unusual to revert to a 'crapper' alternator (IMO) but, don't mind me...

The pulleys will interchange between the two alternators if you still have the original alt.
