ok I just finished puttin the 87 supra back togeter after the HG change.

Here is the problem when i went to put the altenator back on i noticed a wire broken that led to waht seemed to be a capacitor on the back. so i said shit and grabbed my altenator from my 90.
It didnt have this capacitor type thing and was a bit smaller. so i figured it was jsut newer.

well to get to the point i got to hook up the battery and POOF!!! it frys the altenator fuse (the one bolted in) and i see some smoke come from the altenator so im like WHOAAA WTF.

So is it a differant altenator on the 87 than the 90 or do i have a reall bad day ahead of me finding a short

HAH fixed it.
Its weird but obviously you cant run a 90 altenator on a 87 it blows the fuse when you hook up the battery.
So i did some trouble shooting and hooked up the other altenator after i resoldered the capacitor thing back on.
Put a new 100 amp fuse in and it fixed it lol so i dont know
