find a local alternator repair shop and have them take your exsisting alternator and convert it to a self exciting regulato(single wire) thats what i did on both the ls swaps i have done and its worked great. cost me right around 80-100 bucks

+1 this is what I did also, but I only paid about $50 for the conversion, $100 total after buying the alternator.
