I have an 89 with the upgraded 3g 1 wire alternator that may be going bad my question is what year alternator do I ask for when I go to the parts store? Thanks

 

Hutcherson auto electric on Palm River and 50th street . Just tell them you want a 130 amp.They'll know . they sell them new for 150 no core

 

96-98 4.6. Go to LQK and pull one

They rebuilt mine with no problems. Great bunch to deal with.

 

New one on craigslist for $40 search 4.6

 

I didnt know about the 4.6 alternator. Damn , I thought the 150 new was good

 

They're not usually $40 bucks..that a steal. But yeah the 3g come from the 4.6's

 

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

 

hmmmm, I got mne in a stock fox bracket. Maybe it was special
