Or, I just buy a 7" 3g 130 amp alt, and not have to deal with finding different brackets.

Jam a wrench on the bolt head then torque the nut down. Use a lock washer to keep the bolt from spinning when turning the ratchet.

 

A friend had a 2002 Taurus with 3.0, anyone know if this will work? I have a 1992 f350 7.5, 7" mounting ears. Got the harness plug with it.

 

EDIT**** 2002 will not be a 3G and likely be controlled by the computer.
I'm not sure on this.
Sorry, . I was thinking 1992....

If the larger (148mm) body of the 130A unit will fit the only concern might be clocking, and that is easy to change.

 

Thanks, wasn't sure

 

I get a same year 130 amp E350 alternator and switch the case to get the smaller bolt circle.

 

Hi,
Nice write up!

I bought a new REMY G3 for my 89 F-150 4.9L.

I had to reclock to get the B+ Terminal in the right place and grind a little on the hanger!

No big deal and is the best upgrade I have done!

 

I'm not sure what you're saying here....

2G's come in two case sizes 95A 4 hole 135mm and 130A 2 hole 148mm diameter.
The case halves cannot interchange
​​​​​​​
Both current alternators come in a host of different mounting styles.
We have the 7" & 8.25" pivot mounts
8mm threaded or 10mm un-threaded.
There are also side mounts, and an odd 'V' style mount for mod motors.

​​​​​​​Just choose the right donor and the most you have to do is clock it if the wires aren't pointing correctly for you.

 

This^ the Taurus one wouldn't fit my 88 460, the mustang 5.0 fit perfect but it isn't threaded so I had to use a bolt and nut rather than the bolt that was in it before

 

Just wanted to put this out there because there seems to be some confusion about the 460 motor. If you have the poly-vee belt system on your 460 then you should get the 7 inch pivot mount. The older v-belts can use 8.25 because the adjusting bracket is different.
