PA. performance sell good alternators and Powermaster sells nice ones too.

TENGRAM · November 30th, 2006, 01:55 AM

3g alternators can be found on some tauruses and all SN95 stangs. they do require some rewiring. not much though and there are lots of write-ups on the subject.

terribleonexx88 · November 30th, 2006, 03:13 PM

Yeah, but if you going to spend money on a new alternator you may as well spend a littel more and get a 130-140 amp unit.

yep...reason why i said there's some rewiring involved. nearly all alts better than stock are gonna be 3g

terribleonexx88 · November 30th, 2006, 11:27 PM

so 3g 130-140 = good ........how hard is the rewiring

82GT · December 1st, 2006, 12:46 AM

You can get 130-140amps in a 2G

terribleonexx88 · December 1st, 2006, 12:49 AM

but theyre sayin 3g is better

TENGRAM · December 1st, 2006, 01:22 AM

simple rewiring...let me see if i can find a diagram. BTW, where can you get a 130-140 2g? never seen one personally

TENGRAM · December 1st, 2006, 01:29 AM

plus there are several write-ups on the subject over on the corral

terribleonexx88 · December 1st, 2006, 01:06 PM

I don't know....I know that my 140 amp (1 wire) alternator was a direct swap except for needing a heavier power wire plus I was able to get rid of my external regulator.

I'm not saying a 3G isn't better but I'm curious as to why a 3G if you can get a 2G to put out the same amps?

BTW, most people have to slightly modify their alternator bracket when switching from a 2G to a 3G

terribleonexx88 · December 1st, 2006, 08:54 PM

ok i bought a 130a 3g brand new with a new battery. my old alternator passed the tests for voltage but they couldnt test amps so i just went with the new 130a 3g

TENGRAM · December 1st, 2006, 09:39 PM
