bodeen2007 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 how hard would it be to swap in the newer style alternator into my 1 st gen lumina Quote
meltboy1 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 I don't think the mounting points are the same... Quote
rockfangd Posted June 23, 2008 Report Posted June 23, 2008 sorry but basically they are all the same inside. unless you get a HO alternator Quote
Captain Ficho Posted June 24, 2008 Report Posted June 24, 2008 and a HO alternator probably wouldn't even be worth it on our cars. Quote
Venom Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah if you want a better alternator you would probably have to go aftermarket. Quote
bodeen2007 Posted June 26, 2008 Author Report Posted June 26, 2008 i don't want a better alt i just need to get rid of the cooling fan thats on the older style alt's so that i can use the fstb that i got off of a cadillac. It fits on my car but it hits the alternator fan. Quote
bodeen2007 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Posted June 27, 2008 can you notch the bar out a little? I was thinking about that or putting spacers between the fstb and the top of the strut tower. The only reason i was asking about the alternator was pull aparts has what looked like a brand new replacement alternator on a 98 monte carlo and they only want about 20.00 for the alternator. Quote
