Alternator Plug

[ChronoDX87]

:huh: Darn it.. my alternator gave up .. and i just didnt wanted to buy a new one or rebuild one from autoparts ... so i got one from a junk yard it looked like new so i just brought it home and tried to install it.. when i noticed it was a FI alternator and my original is Carb.... which has only 3 wires , unlike 4 from FI.... DARN IT.. and to make things worse.. i did not get any warranty on it.... ok.....

now my question is.... can i still install the Alternator .. and yes i got the plug for the FI.. i just dunno what wires to cut if any ..on my 3 wires Carb alternator plug, so i could use the 4 wire FI plug and Alternator in my Carb 3G...


Thanks..:stupid:: :confused:

I do not believe you can swap them. You learned correctly that the FI has 4 spades, but the carbs only have 3. Sorry dude...

are the wires still on the 4 pin plug? If they are ,and your colour codes are the same as mine, the white/red wire is for EFI,which you dont use.
You should be able to remove the spade terminals from connector and place them in 4 pin plug.
Done this plenty of times with no prob's.
You may also find that top bracket may need a spacer on it.
Hope this helps
