I have a 84 gslse and want to put a bigger amp alternator but how do I find the connecter off of a 2nd gen?

Go to scrap yard, cut from harness of wrecked car.



OR... Post up ad on here or RX7club. Someone will have one.

The S4 alts are a direct swap, connector and all. You will need to thin down the thick spacer that goes behind the alt. Otherwise it is plug and play.

2nd gen alts are better they hold more amps but you have to get the connecter off of a 90 and up. Know anyone

[/quote]There are two types of 2nd gen... Series 4 (86-88) and Series 5 (89-91). The S4 alternator is basically a direct bolt on. The S5 alternator requires modification of the wiring otherwise you will keep draining the battery.
