    Rear wiring on alternator 1971 351c.

    You may have additional/different hookups for tach, but here is an illustration, i.e., look at the four wires that plug into voltage regulator.

    Cooper Cobra or BFgoodrich ?

    My car spun into a wall wearing Cooper Cobra tires, I pass on Cooper. I am currently using BFG but will consider other options next time I am purchasing tires as the cost is 50 percent higher versus previous tire purchases.

    Replacing alternator harness on 71 Mustang

    I think that would be the best option, I will PM later and we can work out details on getting the harness from NPD modified. What is the difference between 14305-5A and 14305-6A? I did notice that one of the three plug's wires on my harness is thicker than the others (Black with Orange stripe).
