I have a 97 Cobra with a 2012 Coyote swap. I just had to buy a new alternator. Both alternators are the 97 style due to the Power By Hour bracket. The old alternator didn’t have a stator plug but the new one does. The grey 3 prong plug from the car has a blk/wht wire but instead of running to a stator plug it runs to the car. How would I hook up a stator wire to the new alternator?

For the 1996-1998 model year, normally pin #1 is has a jumper to pin #3. Pictures would help.

Yea that’s what I was noticing but with the coyote in there it was a different harness. That alternator ended up not quite fitting so I took it back and found another one that didn’t have the stator plug on it. Thanks for the reply.
