Re: Whan Can I get A New Alternator Plug

These are the plastic plugs on the passenger side of the alternator, for the voltage regulator, right?

Mine is intact, but pretty well baked brittle, and the wiring insulation is similarly brittle and splitting.

I am having to charge the battery with an external charger every 2-3 days or so. (new battery last month...)

I am thinking it might be approaching the time to get a re-built up-rated alternator, and do the wiring upgrade mod. a new voltage regulator plug would probably go along with that.

Do the plugs come with a wiring pigtail to splice into the existing wiring, or does the plug require wiring to be pinned and installed into the plug?
