>>>I have a flat firewall kit in my car which uses a GM three-wire 
alternator with built-in regulator.   I got it from NAPA and it's part number 66039. 
  With all fans running and lights on, it still shows a slight charge at 
1000 rpm idle.

It needs the Dorman 85841 connector, and while you're at it you might as 
well get the Dorman 85684 boot for the main power wire (unless you've already 
got those with your current setup).

Great seeing you guys, and your Pantera in Monterey!
