The only "trick" with a (goofy) one-wire alternator is to get a SMALL pulley on it, so it's "revs" high enough to "excite" at a reasonable engine speed.

Too bad, it sounds like you may already have bought the one-wire unit. For LESS money, you can get a standard "3-wire" unit that will "excite" at a slower speed, and is LESS likely to drain the battery over periods of non-use.

All you need to add to connect the "3-wire" unit is a simple diode ($1.00), or an "idiot light", and a length of #16 wire to run to the ignition switch, from the alternator's #1 "switched excite" terminal.
