    i imagine it would. its the same connector.

    our alt on has one wire to the connector, and that says it now works on three wire kits...I guess it would but would it really be worth it is the question...

      Re: will this work for f-bodies?

      All it does it trick the sensor into thinking the alt's not giving out the right voltage, so it works more to increase it. IIRC, there's a how-to somewhere on making one yourself, it's just a simple resistor. As for increase, I'm not too sure. I know on my car i put an additional 6AWG wire coming from the alt, to the accessories terminal on the fender. My headlights don't dim anymore when my system's playing, even at idle :).

                i think ill pass on it then. But im probably going to pick up the alt rewire kit.

                but does anyone know if the fuel pump rewire kit works for our cars? and if it is hard to install?

                reason im asking about these is because im doing a cam in the next day or two and heard it helps with bogging

                  That's basically what I did. I wouldn't waste $15 on it, go buy some heavy gauge wire (I used 6) and run it from the back of the alt to the + Accessory box on the fender well. Like I said, my headlights no longer dim after I did this.

                  Don't know, but I don't have any problems with my stock one with a cam.

                    At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                    Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
