There is one large wire that has a metal eyelet which nuts onto the threaded post.

There is also a snap/gang plug that has two smaller wires on it which just plugs in.

A factory remanufactured alt should have had the pully rebuilt as well.

Possible Belt is too tight...?????

When people say to use a pry bar to tighten the belt they dont mean a six footer....lol

idn't tighten it with crowbar has a tension adjuster on it we tryed adjuestbelt it still screams at you and within the first 20 miles the altinator is toast.it doesn't scream if the altinator isn't there.we tryed to tighten it tighter and it snaped the belt. it's got the right amount of wires could it be one of those wires tht is bad causeing it? we know alot of people tht know alot about cars and no one can figure out why it's doing this

no we d

I dont think a fault in the wire would cause a problem in the pulley.
