Good morning, i have a series 1 au lane and my wife drove an hour from home and the car stopped in traffic...i replaced the power steering pump about a a week ago as it was leaking so I'm guessing that means that I will have to change the alternator...problem is it seems that i can only purchase series 2/BA alternators which have a 2 prong plug instead of 3 prong like mine. What do u do in the this situation?
I have seen this but just want to know if it is easy to do/what i need to do it http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-AU-A...item3cc407367b |

I think so, I put a BA alternator in my EA that was basically running an EF motor, with very little trouble from memory.
The main issue (from memory) I had was was swapping some housing bits over due to mounting points being a bit different.

Found what I did if it helps
http://fordforums.com.au/showpost.ph...6&postcount=50 "My latest BA part to go in - a BA alternator. You can't buy brand new ef/el alternators, so I had though a rebuild will be my only option. Well today I was shown a brand new BA alternator and looking at it, I thought it wont fit the ef/el motor bot I am sure I can devise a way, after several moments thought, and a bit of measuring I decided with the swapping of the front cover it would fit the ef/el engine. (I was going to swap front and back covers but that seemed to much work for the end result needed). I removed the pulley's, removed the 4 bolts around the outside of the front housing, removed it, put the ef/el front housing on the ba alternator did it all back up and bolted it in, the plugs are in a slightly different spot and now the the alternator is held by just 2 points at the front, will devise a bracket for the rear soon. But it did fit, it is done up tight and it was plug and play wiring. So after a few hours work, and a bit of effort, I now have a hybrid 110amp brand new BA alternator in my car (essentially a BA alternator with ef/el front cover). "

is the alternator still ok? if it is hit it with non caustic degreaser and you may save it . if it isn't that kit is the genuine ford kit to upgrade to the later alternator and will solve your problem

Had this problem when I did my v8 conversion. 3 pin plug when was originally a 2 pin plug. Simply changed the connector on the cable to the alternator as only 2 pins are used on any of them.
