3g Alternator is installed!
Works real good. Lots better than my stock one. Before my turn signals had a 4 sec delay between blinks with my sound system. Now it blinks on time with the lights on high beam and the heater fan on high and my stereo turned up. Very impressed. I would recomend it to anyone who hasn't done it. It's not that hard to install. Quite simple. Wanted to say Thanks to all that helped me out with it.

I had the same results, I was very pleased. Where did you run the charge wire. We need pics!!!Originally posted by 88_Marquis_302 View Post
Did you have to drill the bottom hole out for the bolt to fit. And what car did you get it from again? -
Nah, I didn't have to drill out the bottom bolt. I did have to run a longer bolt on the top with a nut on it. I got it from a 94-95 Mustang. I'll post a picture of it tomorrow.Comment

Ah ok. Guess the 5.0 3G alt was a little more forgiving than the Taurus one. Congrats on the find mang! Any trouble with the belt?Comment

Thinking of doing an electric fan upgrade this coming summer. I think I might make this upgrade to the CV.

I guess I could put an electric fan on it. Don't really need one, but it makes the engine look better without that fan shroud. Nah I didn't have any problems with the belt. It was a bit tighter though as the alternator is a bit bigger.Comment

Depending on which fans you run a 2g should be ok. Ive run big amps off em before with no issues. As far as fans go, I like the one off the 95 and up panthers. They come in a shroud, they are massive and cheap. Don't know the cfm rating but Ive had excellent results.1989 Grand Marquis LS

Are you speaking of the aux electric fan that goes on the cars that still have a clutch fan, or the e-fan off the cars that don't have the clutch? The electric one sits inside the shorud and moves lots of air, the other one I tried to fit in my car, and it was way too thick. I think the one that didn't fit was off a 2000, same car I got my spindles from.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
