Weirdness

Gonna have to get rid of that big ass fire prone plug, and the white with black stripe one is reused as the stator wire, get a large long wire to run from the battery to the alternator, and a fuse or a circuit breaker, and you supposedly have 3G power!
One thing though, I'm not sure where the low oil light wire hooks in all this, since it's in with the alternator wiring.

cool eager to hear how it works out if you decide to go that route. and hopefully that solves your problems

Even if it doesn't, I'll feel more at ease, those stock alternators are fire hazards.I'm always wondering if it's gonna catch on fire when I have the rear defrosters, heater, and the lights on, in gear, stopped, lol, when the voltage drops to under 12.

lol you just described my car. especially when i have the system cranking.

i recommend it too myself as well, i just want some clear cut information on what vehicles have the 3G alt, so i can just grab it from a parts $tore cuz there are no yards near me. and i am skeptical about the mounting of it.

A 1995 Ford Taurus with the 3.0 Motor. Go for that. It should bolt in directly. Make sure the pulleys are the same though. So your belt will work with it. Next time I go to the junkyard, I am picking up an alternator, gonna see if it fits on a junk panther, and mount the belt on it. Hope it works lol.

cool.and i wanna know how the swap works out for you.

Whenever I get back to the junkyard I'll pick one up, and then I'll do the wiring. Where can I get an inline circuit breaker for the charge wire, and how much do they go for?

[87gtVIC]

fuk. i have no idea. somebody will know though.

I just used the "Mega Fuse" that's run with the 3.0 taurus charging circuit. It's a 175 amp fuse and it looks like this



This is the fuse that protects the charging circuit on the taurus that you're getting the alternator from.

Let me know if you need help doing the install mang!
