What year mustangs run a 130 amp alternators.  Would like to upgrade my 93 hatch

I believe 94-95 Mustangs had 130s.  Google "Mustang 3G upgrade" and you'll get a ton of hits.  Several other cars had them as well including Tauruses but I don't know the specific years.  Make sure you do a wiring upgrade when you swap the alternator out.  There are kits available.

PA Performance has a complete kit with with all the wiring too.  Not too hard.
You also have to do some grinding on the alternator bracket to get the clearance
needed.  SSP 1993 Mustangs had the 3G also but I cannot confirm this.  The 3G
units (third generation) come stock in 95 AMP and 130 AMP units.  The case is also
slightly larger on the 130 AMP unit.  The biggest difference in the wiring is the large
terminal on the back of the alternator.  This is wired directly to the battery, thereby
taking most of the electrical load off the stock wiring.  The separate wiring is a must
on the 130 AMP unit.  Check out the PA Performance website.

Just get the wiring kit like Steve said and all is good.  Gotta grind a bit on the bracket..but real minah'z...I did mine with a dremel.  I got mine from American Muscle.  It's a must when you run HID's, stereo and A/C..lol!!!!
