The (undesirable, IMHO) one-wire alternator is connected just as the name implies... One 10-gauge or larger wire from the alternator's large output stud goes to the battery.

If it is an ELEGANT One-wire system, the charging current passes through an ammeter on it's way to the battery, or the system is equipped with a voltmeter.

With the engine running somewhat above idle, check the voltage across the battery terminals.

Minimum will be about 13.5 Volts, if the alternator is charging at all, a reading much above 14.5 to 14.75 Volts indicates overcharging.

When you get tired of messing around with the goofy one-wire unit, get a STANDARD, off-the-shelf Delco 10SI, and connect it as shown here:
