The easyest way is to go with a 1 wire alternator (self exciting). Find or make brackets that will work, mount the alternator and run 1 wire from the alternator to the battery.
run it and then disconnect the negative wire from the battery if alternator dies its bad.
If you have a new alternator its as simple as run the one wire to the solenoid. If you are converting the alternator to a one wire, you will need an external regulator.

It is pretty simple if you take one wire off at a time and replace that plug. If you already took all of the wires off and do not know, refer to your owners manual. Make sure you know which way your distributor is spinning.
a bad ground wire can ruin an alternator by not completing the circuit
2 wire has a live wire to energise the field where as the single wire alternator self energises and does not need the powered feed.
you cannot.
This wire allows the alternator to keep the battery charged.
It is the wire that supplies the initial field current to the alternator from the battey. Once the alternator is rotating the field current will be provided by the diodes from the current produced by the alternator. excitor wire is usually wired through the charging indicator light.
It depends on where the wire is being connected on the alternator. It could be the alternator or it could be a damaged wire or connector. It's something that you will need to track down.
What Type of alternator do you have? I can't believe the people that don't state make, model, year and engine size before posting a question.
No.
