Deleted my old post now that im home for the night and able to show you better and ask...i found a alternator off a 1991 ford thunderbird 3.8L which i pulled off and the bolt holes match up to my old one so it works and will bolt up. i know it has to have a set of wires coming off the back as ull see in the pic im posting its just a plastic spot, but it also has wires coming off of the side. what are they for? can i still use this alternator for the swap and just pop them off? the one with the ghetto red arrow pointed to it is what i needd to know about. thanks in advance!
those are the ones that come from the back..this thing has an extra set on the side im wondering about..
ive beeen reading for a few hours now and noticed a those wires were called stator's? is it possible this car only had a 2G alternator in it..? thats what ive come up with so far that this may be a 2G alt. ill keep searching seems no one has chimed in
Whats the part number? Of the results from RockAuto for an alternator for a 1991 Thunderbird 3.8L, they mostly call it a 2G, with no alternator listings greater than 75A. The supercharged 3.8L looks like it could have had both, a 2G and 110A 3G.
