Depends what sort of Rangie you have.

I have an 85A alternator from a falcon (Au I think). The auto elec just changed over the pulley for me and it almost bolted straight in.

oh sorry , yes its a 89 RRC 3.9

hey - I have one to suit if you want...

I have 3 at the moment. Where are you?

[walker]

Does the 3.9 run v belts or serpentine.

What size alternators do you have?

[Blknight.aus]

the 3.9 will take the early holden/ford 65 amp alternator the original pulley on them is a mickey hair out but near enough to work if you have the belt driven units.

if you have the serpentine belt use the same alternator and swap pulleys

[wells]

great .i have the belt drive so it looks like i have some options !

Not sure if you have seen this, but I converted mine to a Bosch unit from a Bitsmissing Magna.
