Swapping an '87 alt into an '88

Among the gloom of finding that I'll be undergoing an engine swap today, my alternator tested bad.

I'll be using the engine out of my wrecked '87, which has a brand new alternator on it with about 3 days of service life to boot. The warranty has long expired, it was a 3 month NAPA deal. Can someone give me some advice on hooking it up to my '88 wiring harness until I can afford the 3G?

Go to your local jy. You can use a 3g out of a '94/5 T-bird or any of the Taurus from about '94 on. Mine are usually around $20 (depending on the mood of the owner). They aren't that hard wire in either.
