    3G Alternator Install: A How To

    Well, I got it to work finally! :D I routed the yellow wire directly to the alternator output (rectifier post) along with the 4 gauge wire. The reason my setup didn't work initially was because I FORGOT I cut the other end of the wire off (that connected to the starter relay) and taped them...

    3G Alternator Install: A How To

    Which wire is the exite wire in my set up ? Wear do the white wires (in both) in the car's harness attach to at the other end (opposite the alternator that is) ? Also, I'm going to pull the alternator and have it tested tomorrow.

    Ok, I just did the 3G alternator upgrade along with a smog delete and installed an underdrive crank pulley on my 5.0. In addition, I swapped pulleys with my stock alternater (50mm) Vs the 3Gs (60mm). My chart shows an 84.5" belt (which I just tried) and it's a bit too long. I don't...

    3G Alternator Install: A How To

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong here. If one is using a pigtail off a 3G alternator (PIC #1) with the self-contained stator wire (Red Arrow), wouldn't one then just eliminate the SMALLEST wire from off the car's rectifier plug wiring harness (PIC #2) ?? PIC #1 PIC #2

    Special Bolts for UD Crank Pulley ??

    Anyone know if there are special bolts to be used when installing the Under Drive Crank pulley ?? I installed one on my 89 a couple years back and I remember I had a difficult time accessing the bolts. The bolt heads were too close to the outer edge of the pulley and a socket was not able to...

    1.72 RR on stock 5.0 ??

    I need to replace the valve seals in my stock 5.0 soon. I'll be doing it with the engine still in the car. I figure this would be a good oppurtunity to upgrade the RRs and Springs. Q: Will 1.72RRs work ok on a stock 91 5.0 ?? If so, will I need to upgrade the springs as well ??
