So my alternator decided to crap out on me yesterday while I was crusing down Broadway. Luckily I was able to coast into a left turn lane and get out and push her across the intersection. I ran to Checker quick and got a stock 61 amp (I thought stock was 55amp?) alternator to get me home. I want to upgrade to a 100amp or larger 1 wire alt now. I should have a long time ago since I've been running a decent sized stereo setup for over a year now. I remember hearing our cars can use the GM style alts. Is this true? What would I have to do to make it work on my 289? Like this one I found on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330138011248&rd=1,1
That's in my price range. I also found this one which is also in my price range, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140128878021&rd=1,1
I've heard about the Powermaster and PA-Performance kits for the 3G styles from late model Tauras's and Stangs, but those are spendy. I've also searched a few forums about alternators. I'm just trying to find the best bang for the buck. Thanks!
