Looking for replacement alternator harness

Post by DBossMan »

While replacing the alternator and regulator on my 72 Crew this weekend, I noticed that the alternator harness is pretty buggered up.

Does anyone make a replacement?

Perhaps I can buy one that is designed for a Mustang? I figure they should be pretty similar.

Thanks.

autozone has the connector for the volt reg if you need it spec. order in store for 7.99

i'm guessing it has all the connectors for the bat and alt.

I believe the alternator harness connectors on the early Mustang is a 3-prong flat plug and I believe my '68 Bump is a 4 prong square plug. I'm not sure what the '69 and '70 Mustangs have but I would do a good stare-and-compare to be sure that if the harnesses look the same also be sure the wire sizes are also a match from the car to the truck as well as color for color. I'd hate to see you plug a harness in that feeds alternator current into your wiring harness in the wrong place.

The '66 - '68 Mustang has one large and two small wires in the alternator feed. I have seen those wires in different locations in the alternator feeds of different 60s vehicles. I wound up forking out the ca$h at NPD here in Ocala to get an alternator harness for one of my cars because I couldn't find a match in the wrecking yards.
