I got one used for around 3 months from my 95' that i used last summer until i got a high output one,
I just dont have the pulley that goes on it which you could take off an old one ect.
its like brand new its yours for $65 shipped

I do but for what they want a rebuild would cost more then a autozone one. and dont want to risk it not working.
Tyler have anymore pics my bracket is the weird one that the alternator bolts onto from the back

I dont have a pic, but i know my alternator only works on 95+96 rettas
unsure about other cars, but the brackets are easy to swap

that one looks correct for 3x00 engines.. My 3.1 L one is pretty much the exact same thing, but the bracket at the back sits into a piece that looks like whats on that alternator.
i got the 3x00 for free and its brand new. but couldnt make it fit my car, i was lucky and found a brand new one at the JY on the weekend and got it for like 10 bucks. but ill be saving the other one for the Z if i ever need it.
Left is a 3.1 L.. right is 3x00

i tryed to make the newer one fit my 3.1... if i trimmed the bracket on the car it could work.. it think its 100 amp probably slightly more then the one on my car now.
The one i just got from the JY for the 3.1 i put it on tonight and doesnt charge any different i think my gauge is just a bit wonky, stays just over half on the gauge. the one i just put on has a slightly larger pulley too, maybe will give me back a couple HP lol.
The 3400, engines i think have a larger alternator, might bolt on the same though as the 3100... the venture vans that have both power doors and head unit have a larger one then the ones without the extra stuff.
