Do you mean one-wire and 3-wire?
A three wire has the regulator built into the alternator.
Personally, the lure of the one wire is lost to me on a Pantera. It does help clean up the wiring, and on a standard front-engined car, that means a nicer looking engine compartment. But on the Pantera, that wiring is not seen in the first place. Thus my loss as to why folks go to the one-wire.
The conversion does cause problems with your dash indicator light, too.
