Taurus with the 3.0 has one.That's where I got mine.It's been an outstanding unit,and,it's easy to wire up,and they are plentiful at the boneyard if you're on a budget.

Mine came from ebay off a 1995 Mustang. You can search my "progress thread" to see my install

I bought one for a 94/95 from Autozone with a lifetime warranty for 140 bucks. Works great and it pretty much just plugs and plays other than a 8 gauge wire to the starter solenoid.

You would have to reclock the voltage regulator position because it`s not in the right place when mounted on a 5.0L.

I`d get a 94-95 3g because 96 and up 3g`s have a different case and pulley spacing.

Sorry,I don't know the year Taurus.It was one of the newer ones that has the round headlights. I did have to re-clock it,but that only took about 2 minutes and loosening 3 bolts.

Just off the top of my head, it's 1993-1999 3.0 Taurus and Sables. The same alternator was also used on 1995-1998 3.0 Windstars. Like posted above, the clocking is wrong and will put your connectors crammed up against the bracket.
The 94-99 V6 Mustang and 94-95 GT also fit and have the same ear spacing and DE frame. They have a little better clocking, but still they point the connectors straight up.

Not all of the taurus/sable/windstar 3Gs are 130amp. It depended on the factory option package. Unfortunately, there's no way tell from the outside of the alternator. The only difference in the 130a and 110a was the 110a had a missing pos and neg diode from the rectifier.

Reclocking is easy. You want the connectors pointing at the passenger side tire.
