Leash Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm having a few issues replacing the alternator in my '76 280z and haven't been able to find any information on this. I had found this post: http://www.newprotest.org/details.pl?1236 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. I have no clue where to wire up the "Phase" wire and the Condenser wire to. This is what I have: Current (I've circled the areas where the wires were connected to): New one from store: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1ghtymaxXx Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
