I finally got to do an alternator upgrade to my 87 TC. Not that I wanted to (trying to keep original as possible).
Knowing how the older ones had issues. I bought the 130amp alternator and power wire from American Muscle last year before Ford Carlisle but, didn't really have the time to do until this year. I knew I had to modify my power steering pump bracket to accommodate the size of the new alternator. Used a die grinder to massage enough material out of the way (sorry no pics before and after of that). This link has some pics of the bracket. https://turbotbird.com/thread-3g-alternator-install. Moved wires around for the wire that plugs in for the car (pulling 2 wires out of factory plug and switching their places) insted cutting and splicing. I didn't do enough research on everything, because the power wire I bought was too long, so I ordered the shorter one and got it installed the other week. Just now getting to post about it. Here is the link to AM for some of my finished pics. https://www.americanmuscle.com/profi...eimage=1719373
