Good evening,
I just got a 3rd gen Alternator for my 89 TII, first problem the shaft diameter is bigger than the 2nd gen, so I will have the dual pulley and spacer modify tomorrow.
I found a thread that metioned the shaft issue and also the adjustment bolt that I have to get.
Now my real question, It also says something about the harness connector, can I use the 2nd gen connector/plug? I tried it and it seems like it fits. Does it?

Thanks
Jimmy

plug and play.

so you plugged it in and you can't tell if the plug fits? this is a very common upgrade for FC owners. there are probably hundreds of threads on the subject.

Atkins sells a double pulley for the FD alt: http://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/pr...9&cat=0&page=1.

Drilling out the S5 pulley by hand will be very sketchy. Whatever you use would need to be very precise to avoid an imbalance. I thought about doing it for the alt I just put in my car, and was planning on using a mill to do it, but decided on a double pulley instead.

The tool of choice for that job is a lathe.
Took me all of about 10 minutes to do the two pulley halves and the spacer.

Thank you to everyone, like Walken said, its plug and play, except for the pulley that needed some machining.

Thanks again,

Yes, obviously that would be the best, but a mill can get the job done too. Unfortunately I don't have access to a lathe anymore.

Crap, I'll trade you.
The lease on my Bridgeport ended and I couldn't justify renewing it...I miss it a lot.
In general, mills are more useful (to me, at least) than lathes.
