So I'm wanting to swap my externally regulated alternator for an internally regulated alternator. My thought is I may go to a sniper efi in the future. I watched the Project Wrong Way video where he used a wire harness built by Coolerman. It seemed pretty straightforward. Does anyone know if Mark is still making these wiring harnesses and how I can get in touch with him? Alternatively, is anyone else making these harnesses?
 
Here is what I'm working with...old alternator with 3 pin connector, new alternator with 2 pin connector and the external regulator.

Here's Mark`s wiring page Cruiser Wiring He just got back from vacation.

If you want to use your old harness to accommodate the externally regulated alternator, see Post #104 -> click here <-
 
Thanks for the help guys,

@mrboatman I could not get that link to work on my laptop but I'll take a look on my phone and see if it works.

@GA Architect this would require removing the 3-pin connector and adding a new 2 pin connector at the alternator like the one @ToyotaMatt showed above correct?

@mrboatman I was finally able to get to @Coolerman's website, that's exactly what I was looking for. thanks for pointing me there. How's your rig been running after the engine swap?
Glad you got to the site. The 2F swap has been great and running great
