Default 100amp mercury/lincoln alternators??

i see these at the bone yard they have differant connectors.. is this similar to the 3g deal?alts are 10 bucks at the yard so it might be a good upgrade since i have a 1200watt mono block amp powering a 12" sub and my light flicker sometimes or my car is hard to start after driving with it up. i know about caps stopping flickering, but i think the stock alt is 75amp and thats too small i think

if your talking about the lincoln mark7 swap then its a 2g 100amp, but i believe youll need the bracket etc as well, personally id just go for the 3g swap. also if your power wire is to small it can cause your lights to flicker. but the stock fox setup does leave things to be desired
