    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    There's what gets used at the shop. Electrical repairs are kind of a specialty of mine. Pro-tip, any of these tools branded "Matco" were made by someone else and can be found cheaper from the company that manufactured them. The big battery cable crimpers and the orange-handled specialty crimpers...

    How much power can a 94 GT make if you don't change the look of the engine?

    You're taking me way too seriously.

    If I were chasing this, I'd run an '87-93 GT nose, or build an '87-93 car if such a swap was a rule-breaker. Ford lowered the drag coefficient dramatically when they put the composite headlights in and eliminated the grille. The smooth LX tail lamps probably wouldn't hurt either. Do they look...

    Whoever you spoke to about the warranty is flat-out wrong. Ford themselves dictates warranty policy, not the dealership. If the part was installed by the dealership, labor is covered too. Hell, Ford will cover labor on a Motorcraft battery they didn't install if you have your receipt and it...

    If you want to upgrade to the 2010 spec alternator, Remy has it under part number 12903, and AC Delco has it under 3343021. It's a Denso design that Denso themselves no longer remanufactures. Do me a favor and post a picture of your battery either here or in a thread in the S197 section.

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    I worked for Ford when those cars were still new and under warranty. :rlaugh: If Ford installed a Ford alternator, and it's what failed within two years of installation, it's absolutely under warranty. Find a different dealership, they can look up the previous repair in Oasis.

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    I replaced a 2014 F150 that I bought new with a 2008 4Runner after three years. Zero regrets, that Toyota just soldiers on day in and day out without any of the annoying issues the F150 brought to my daily commute. I think we officially have the most hijacked thread in the II forum going on...

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    I've had a 2009 and a 2010 (mechanically identical to the 2009, but different interior and some body revisions). Neither had a single alternator problem, and the '09 had the Shaker system. My best friend had an '05 for three years and we put one alternator on it. I'm also a former Ford dealer...

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    Have you never looked under the hood of an American car built before 1995 or so? Virtually everything GM or Ford built ran an alternator that looked like that from the 1960s until then, and AMC and Chrysler even got on board in the 1970s.

    Just tap into any ignition hot circuit. A gauge has an inconsequential draw.

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    @IICrew is correct. Just unplug the regulator. I knew there was a wire connected to one pin of my regulator's connector, but I just went out to the car and looked, and it's actually the ignition hot for my MSD 6 box. The internal fuse block is powered when the key is turned (ignition switch is...

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    You're not a fan of what? The Ford 1G or the GM CS/1-wire? I'll give you a hint, they're remarkably similar, so much so that a CS will fit in place of a 1G with a few washers shimming it. This guy's replacing his 1G alternator with a modified CS. There's no liquid cooling (see the big fan on...

    Mustang II One Wire Alternator Conversion?

    Good news and better news... Good news: I've done the GM 1-wire conversion on a Mustang II (well, it was badly done when I bought it and I fixed it). Better news: The Mustang II's alternator wiring was no different than any other Ford with a 1G alternator. Even better news: There's a better...

    When I put A/C back in the car, it'll probably be getting the Powermaster Ford 1G 1-wire 100-amp unit.
