I ended up buyin one from napa with a discount from my job for $160 with a lifetime warrenty for a 94 mustang gt 130A the one that was in my car was a 160A I bought 2 years ago for $60 so I decided on a new one not to burn up my money in the long run none the less $40 bucks is a great deal. I plan on keeping my old 160A alt and having it fixed with my a/c headlights and radio on the voltage gauge hardly dropped with the newer 130A I get a slight voltage drop but works ok Thank for your help.

4.6L alternators have totally different mounting points than a 5.0 alternator, I don't know why you suggested that. 94-95 alternators are the correct pieces (which is what he ended up getting) or i believe 94+ v6 alternators would have worked as well
