3G Installation Failure: The Death of a Turbo Coupe Reply #77 – September 06, 2007, 10:23:34 PM I don't understand.. I took a risk and hooked up a 3g on my 83 !without! running any new wires.. it worked fine for months.. I took it off to replace it with a new 1g *odd i know* Something must have been wrong with your alt.. or wiring. Quote Selected
3G Installation Failure: The Death of a Turbo Coupe Reply #78 – September 06, 2007, 10:36:26 PM Quote from: TurboCoupe50;174803Yup and that's good enough for me... Jeff is one of the most knowledgeable guys over there(teaches physics), he knows what he's doing... When I did my 3G I just added a parallel piece of 10ga I cut out of the Taurus that donated the alt...At the risk of committing blasphemy, you also do not need the stator wire that he installs.This only needed if you have an idiot light instead of an ammeter.Doesn't hurt anything but you don't need it.The original wiring would have worked fine (and more safely) unless you have some non stock electrical equipment you are trying to power.

My output is fused,, most writeups i see are not.im sorry for busting on a reputable guy like that, the write up just seemed to be a little over complicated and lenghty as well as polluted with tecniques that made me look twice and frown.He points out the TC is so much different from the 5.0 but in all honesty, i dont get that impression when i do a stare and compare of each evtm layout.
