I saw a couple in the yard and the alternator they had was HUGE.  I think a 3G upgrade is much more likely for me.

If it helps,you can get a 3G alternator from a 3.8 Taurus,and it'll fit right on to the Mark VII bracket.

OR you can get a 3G from a 3.0 Taurus and it'll fit your stock bracket...

Thanks.  Ive already done the research.  I also found out that you can get a 175a inline fuse from a late model cougar (99ish) in a nice plastic case.

I can even pull one from the JY for you if you pay part plus ship.


I just wanted to thank everyone for their help on this forum.  Sometimes I join forums looking for help and get ran off because I haven't contributed...glad to see you aren't like that!

I got the bracket from danzajax today and got it put on...it was the same part number as the broken one.  Weird thing was that the regulator plug hit the bracket and wouldn't let me get the upper alt. mounting bolt in.  I ended up clearancing the bracket slightly with a grinder and then smoothing it out with a hand file and it seems to have worked good.  I compared the regulator plug to alt. case height with my '88 Bronco's alternator and it was only .08-.09" taller so I don't think that would be enough for the clearance issues I had.  Oh well, it is on there now.
