yes I believe so. You will have to clearance/modify your alt bracket slightly to fit the bigger unit in there. Worth the upgrade IMO, I went with PA performance alt. Good Luck [ April 23, 2006, 03:24 AM: Message edited by: CLEEN 50 ]

you still havent changed them? i told you to change them like months ago.
you dont have to swap pullies but the stock 3g pulley is HUGE , so its a underdive pulley basicly so i swaped it for a 2g pulley.

it should put out more voltage at idle with the stock 2g pulley.

Tuck it around the radiator. I don't know how to exactly explain it. Just scope it out, its not that hard.

if you want a electrical fire use the stock wiring the new alt put out the max power of the stock alt at idle so once your driving its putting out way more power than the stock alt and resistence creates heat.
