Alternator Replacement Issues

Recommended Posts

I'm having a few issues replacing the alternator in my '76 280z and haven't been able to find any information on this.

It seems like the opposite problem of what I'm having.

 

The car currently has the alternator to the right. The automotive store gave me the one to the left.

This is what I have:

Well it looks like you have a 280ZX alternator installed and you ordered a 280Z unit. Return the one you bought and get a 81-83 280ZX alternator and install the reverse of removal. You should check to make sure the car was properly converted to an internal voltage regulator as shown here: http://atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html
