Whats the diffrence on a stock GT and a stock Cobra alternator?
My friend need to replace his alternator on his 2000 GT, Called autoparts store and said the Cobra alternator was cheaper and had higher amps? Will it work on a stock 2000 GT?

The 4v alternators are different and will not work on a gt. They have different plugs on them and are shaped different overall. (at least the 4v alt I have sitting in my garages is).
