Default FHP lestek alt wiring question

i have a question regarding the FHP cars equipped with lestek alternators.
A PO of my 91 FHP majorly butchered the car and stuck another engine in the car, stole the lestek etc.

the car now has a 3G alt in it which is crudely spliced into the factory alt harness. its a hazard how it is now and the alt isn't working.

my question is regarding the lestek equipped cars headlight/alt harness. is it a special harness than what came on oem 5.0 cars?

i have access to a regular 5.0 harness/alternator and was going to stick that on for the time being until i have the funds to get a correct lestek alt.

It's different. The Lestek alts were externally regulated, and the OEM ones internal (since about '86 or so). I think the terminals are different, also. PPI has a pic of a "repair" harness they sell, but it sounds like you'll need more than that in your case.

this is the cluster f i have on my hands now. looks like only the volt reg wiring has been hacked, and i have enough there to rebuild.

does the lestek mount on the oem 5.0 alt bracket?

Ok...looks like you aren't too bad off.

The two wire plug is more than likely the plug for the Lestek. The pic below is of the one I mentioned that PPI sells.

I can't help you on the bracket question...I have a Lestek, but haven't ever owned a Lestek-equipped car. I would think it's be a different bracket, though.
