save some money, throw that POS away, and go to a junkyard and buy an alternator out of a 95 t-bird 3.8l NON-s/c

Seriously, just buy a 3g and be done with it. I'm buttoning my swap up in the next couple of days and believe me, its not hard. Total cost should be under $125 if you use a working junk yard alternator. I paid $40 for mine from a '97 T-bird 3.8L. I tossed another $160 at it to build it up to 170A (stock 3G is 130A, your stock alternator is probably more like 60A) and had the case powder coated.

The whole thing is I am tight on cash, I just need it to work... it worked ****ing before, I'm sure it will again... just need to know how to hook it up...

I don't need people telling me the same **** over and over.

Cleaning the garbage off of the wires and matching the colors up would probably be a good first step.
