  • alternate alternator

    So, Ive run into a bit of a snag on the engine.. I have NO room to put the OEM alt where i want it, I have founf some mini ones, but they're all only 55A (is that enough for driving around town? ie wipers/headlights/radio)

    The other option:
    My buddies Mustang alt fit NICELY where i want it, but he has a 3 wire hookup, ours are 4. I have the skematic for mine, but cant seem to find one for the stang to see if I can make an adapter for the harness.....

    found this if it helps (from a c6 though)


    still looking for one on the ford plug (wpt119)

    stock LT1, LS1 is 110 amp. 55amps would be just enough for you to run down the 1/4 mi. no lights, radio, wipers etc. 55amp alt are for v6. cars.

        I was wrong, I looked at replacement alternators on auto zone. V6 firebird is 105 amp and lt1 is 140 amp.
