I'm trying to replace the dead stock alternator on my '79, hopefully with a T2 alt...(or an 81+)
Does anyone know if this will work?

I searched around and I found that sketched diagram, but the 79/80 alternators have a 4 pin connecter as opposed to a 2 pin on the rest of the rx7's..(only 3 wires actually go to the connector)
Does anyone know if this can be converted, and if so, which wires to which pins?

thanks alot

 

Suprisingly enough, found through the SEARCH feature.[/b


This one?


I don't think that was it..

But here's the informative thread on the
Junkyard-Speed Shop

And Here's how to switch from a Points ignition to electronic ignition swap [/QUOTE]

 

It's the wire color codes that are important. You'll first have to disable the external regulator and then you can go to the 2 wire system...here's the ulti-thread on the subject....

y dont u put on a 3gen alt?? the are bigger than t2 and they bolt right on! the 3 gen alts are the same as mitis galants and something esle but cant remeber????

 

The Third gens have serpantine belts, whereas the 1st and 2nd gens have "V" belts. It is NOT bolt on.

You would have to change the pulley, and the plug is different.
