lowlancer Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Anyone know what the deal would be with an alternator for a MK1 escort? My mate is buying one and it isn't charging well with the generator, so he wants to know if there's an alternator out of say a MK2 or something that can be a direct replacement...

two_days_late Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 the mk1 and mk2 engines are generally the same apart from the mk2 ones are stronger due to various reinforcements. the alternator from a mk2 should fit straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
