Install a 3g from a taurus, real simple and real good swap.

DISCONNECT THE WIRE FROM YOUR CAPS LOCK... and then type like this. Read the one entitled 'alternator wiring conundrum' and if you feel savvy enough, install the Delcotron. Maybe not as easy as the 3G, but much more available, and more application extensible

Why use a delcotron (i'm assuming 10/12si) when you can use a 3G??? 130 amp capable, damn near bulletproof, and readily available. Several threads on here about how to...

Here is one of the threads you need to read through. I've done the 3G on mine and it looks and works great. http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... =8&t=13062

For me, the options would be:

1) 3G
2) 3G
3) 3G

OR if you're feeling really crazy, a 3G. lol

3G is super easy, readily available, super reliable and very clean.
