If you need to, there is nothing stopping one from using a "regular"
alternator for GEN 1.
Its NEG terminal is wired to ground via a lead to an engine bolt. A
"regular" alternator
does that internally by connecting its NEG to case ground which is also
engine ground.
GEN 2 for M1009 types, have to have the seperate NEG/POS terminals.
Just a thought,
Ted.
