Alternator issue
My alternator finally crapped out on me. No tags on the unit itself except a little sticker that says reman Delco. I have AC and defrost so I'm assuming it's the 78amp. Problem is she's my daily and they are special orders and sell for 130 dollars. I would rather upgrade since my auido is growing. I was thinking about putting in one from a 5.0. V belt 94-99 amp. Direct swap? Any special modifications. I read somewhere the back plug in orientation is a little different but shouldn't be a problem. Is that true?
84 2.8l.

Re: Alternator issue
Not sure off the top of my head, but one sure way to find out is go to the parts store and compare them side by side. Then you will know for sure. If it was a newer serp belt set up I would know you can't, but being an older V-belt alt, I can't say one way or the other.
