Yeah I saw that thread and read thru it but I don't think anyone was using the alternator I have
I use a Mustang alt, grinded the bracket but not the tensioner I just don't run the top bolt, the belt pulls it in anyways so its not going anywhere.
are super coupe alternators not available any more??? or is it that people want to go to the junk yard and get alternators?
I have been trying to wrap my head around all the alternator swaps people are doing and i just say "what are the benifits" other than if you need more power out of it for stereo equipment. Not trying to be an ~~~ just dont know here.

Rebuild parts for the SC alternators (voltage regulator and rectifier) are quite pricey relative to other alternators, and relative to newer 3G and 6G units.
I used to think that, but RockAuto suddenly started selling internals, etc.
Voltage regulators, as an example, are between $25 & $100 depending on if they're closeout or regular priced.
I think this is the unit I bought on Ebay for about $130.

Last time I checked my rebuilder only charges ~$90 (I know it was cheaper for him to rebuild it than for me to buy the parts). So basically if you never brake the case you'll never have a problem.
