Alternator Problem!Help hey im in pensacola...and i was changing my alternator and broke the wire out the alternator, so i need a new alternator clip ...I called napa but they only have it for the lt1 and i was wondering which other one will also fit a 98 camaro
are you talking about the wire that bolts to the stud on the back of the alt?
If so, Just use a ring terminal that fits it snugly.
but yes, one from an LT1 *should* work on your ls1

Its the exciter wire plug. I think that is a stealership part. you can take it apart and fix it yourself. Take the top part of the plastic plug "cover" off by gently popping it loose from sides. Then using a fine punch, push the clip from the bottom toward the direction of where you popped the cover off, if you do it right, the metal clip inside will come out, then you can resolder it together. I think some guy bought a whole new one for $30 when I was reading up on alts on in gen maintenance.
Just be aware, your alternator needs this connection to turn on the volt reg and engauge your alt, if not, your alternator atleast at an idle if not the whole time will not charge the battery or nothing.
