1993 gl

a person at the junkyard told me that the alternator on the festivas have different plug ends in them. is this true?

[Tom]

Yes but I have been able to hook up what is the same and just leave the different ones dangle and everything has working fine.

[miami man]

different ones dangle?

[oxbrain]

The high power line will hook up, it's just a screw on spade thing. There is another plug that is different in different models, and I don't think it's necessary.

My 93 and 91 have the same plug. Maybe it's the carbed festivas that are different?

[Tom]

Yes, dangle.

That way if you ever change back to the origional hook up everything is there.
