I installed a Ford 130 amp 3G alternator in my 59 last year, very happy with it. Since I didn`t want to to have to rev the engine everytime I started it, to make the alternator "kick in", plus I wanted my factory "GEN" light in the dash to function properly, I decided to avoid the single wire design. I didn`t find the task of having 3 wires to hook up a big deal, and I am really happy with the improvement over the original 30 amp generator. I used a 95 Mustang 5.0 alternator, and other than replacing the alt. pulley, with a old style V belt pulley, it was a straight bolt in. I have factory alternator brackets for both the high and low mount locations, tried both, and went with the upper position. Because of the higher output, I elected to go with factory dual V belts for the alternator, since I do not have power steering or A/C, there is just the crank, alt, and water pump pulleys. Since I no longer needed a separate voltage regulator, where the old regulator was located provided a perfect spot for the Duraspark ignition module.
