Looking at buying a 2000 GT . 3 wire alternator?

[dwcopple]

Guy installed a new alternator. He bought a 3wire and has the white wire just dangling. Says it's charging but the battery/charging indicator is illuminated. Is there an easy fix? See pic.

Wow that looks bad. If it’s illuminated it’s not charging. The 6g alternator (which is what it’s supposed to have) doesn’t need that white wire but that’s an older style 4g alternator.

What’s he asking for it? I think I’d walk. It’s missing a vacuum line, that’s the wrong alternator and alternator bracket and it has a crappy aftermarket intake manifold.

So to be fixed it needs a 6G alternator and bracket? Where do I source the bracket

 

[07GtS197]

Not necessarily. I think it’s either installed wrong or is a junk alternator. It’s not new looking at the pictures. I’d check the harness first. But personally, I’d eventually swap it back to 6g and the right bracket. Also the harness is different. That’s probably why it has a new harness.

So where do I source the 6G bracket and Alternator for the best price?

alt looks scetchy as fuck , if you do get it take that alt to whatever parts store get the right one use that pos as core charge , i may i have a couple of those brackets

 

[dwcopple]

@RAU03MACH. That'd be awesome! I sold some parts from the 97 vert parts car tonight so that should be enough hopefully to buy a new alternator

 

[RAU03MACH]

give me a min , take a picture of the one you need , if you give me enough time i might even sell you the alt i have i just want to make sure there are parts i need to complete mine and to get it running good
so give me a few

 

[dwcopple]

I guess I need the 6G bracket.

 

[RAU03MACH]

i think this is what you need , alt to , once i have the engine out and the other engine in running ill sell parts off this engine if anyone is interested

 

[dwcopple]

I should be picking this car up on Friday

 

[RAU03MACH]

yours looks like mine

 

[dwcopple]

I dunno man. The other guys were claiming it's the wrong alternator and bracket. I do not know what a 2000 GT should have.

 

[RAU03MACH]

i believe you have the right bracket , but the wrong alt

I see now on the car in question pic. The incorrect alternator isn't bolted to the bracket at all it appears.

 

[RAU03MACH]

like i say take that pos use it for core charge for new one
