nothing more simple than getting the replacement parts at the store and putting them on, ... GM altenators are junk... I've replace my share of them.. as long as the rest of the system is in good condition it should last a long long time with factory FORD parts...


Sorry about that and back to your ? I think Jegs or Summit has them... might have to make some brackets and shims to line it up and get it straight..

the engine is not in a vehicle yet, so there is no wiring harness to start with, a 1-wire is simple and I don't have to get a regulator.
