Ok well the tudor needs a new altinator

[83countrysquire]

I need a new altinator for the Tudor now cause it died and could start it up again what should i do i was considering 3g but how much work and money is involved i hope to put a small sub system in later but i for now i gunna run two amps for my alpine speakers that will be going in. Are there another upgrades i can do while doing this one? Any opions on what i should do?

i see i spelt somethin wrong its altenator

Upgrade it. The alternator cost me $15 used with the harness, splice one wire and add the battery cable. Cable cost $6 and a fuse was another $15. You can have it done in a day working slowly.

For cable if you have a welding shop near by go there and get some 4 gauge - 1/0 AWG cable for your new battery cable. Make sure you upgrade the ground on the battery too, and ground from block to chassis to the same size cable or larger.

Stock wiring is too thin for 3G alternator in my opinion. Or you can go online if you can wait and order all the cable you need and a fuse holder along w/ a fuse.

You can make your own ANL fuse holder easily, with a small block of plastic two bolts and 4 nuts, I just now realized this and I wish I would of before I bought my fuse holder. If you want me to draw how you can make a holder I can do it, it may take me a while because I am still getting used to GIMP (image editor for Linux).

i use premade cables and a 150 amp circuit breaker when i install the 3ag altenator........if you need a stocker to get you by, i think i have one that works

its been talked about in several threads on here, and its a fairly common upgrade for trucks and mustangs as well.

well where should iget these parts like the altinator and wiring kits

[Lincolnmania]

auto parts store
1 altenator 95 mustang 5.0
1-approx 20" cable switch to starter style
1- 150 amp circuit breaker or heavy duty fuse and holder that will accept 4 gauge wire
1-approx 48" cable switch to starter style
a couple wire connectors

this method abandons the old alt to batt wiring......why? cause the fusible links go bad in the harness, and ford changed the harness plug so many damm times that it's damm near impossible to find the right one.....those wires have served for 20 yrs, let em ride it out the rest of the way unpowered lol

If you do do the conversion, don't forget to splice the low oil indicator light wire that goes with the harness.
