Everybody loves getting a unique haul from the junkyard, when we're lucky enough to do so! :wink:

Dan, I'll probably cut the wiring for the plugs themselves, and worry about pulling the connectors when I get the engine home. :) I'll be able to take my time with it then, since I'm already tearing into it anyways. :mrgreen:

Junkyard Millenia alternator, millenia rebuild kit.
Higher amp and probably better reliability.
The mitsu units are garbage. (And one of the next peices I'm swapping out)
Millenia alternator is 90AMP just like mx-3 isn't it?

The KJ and KL had 110 amp alternators in them.
Wings on an MX3? What are you thinking?

Earlier Millenia's had the 110, but apparently they went down to 90amp in the later years...

This is true... I've found three 90 amps and one 110 so far.

They only went to a 90amp in like one or two years of production. I pulled mine from a 00'. I want to say 97-98 has 90amp.
