Many of the Ford V6 ones, Mustang, Tbird, etc. Look the 95 alternator up on Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market and it will show you a lot of ones that will work.

94/95 GTs and 94-98 or 99 v-6 stangs are the same.I am running a 96 v-6 alternator that i bought for 15 dollars that was 2 months old off a kid that had riced out his car and totaled it after hitting a parked car @70 mph.

3.0 Ford Taurus.I got two for $20.00 from the boneyard,polished one and installed it,the other is a spare.Bolted right up (after notching the bracket and altering the wiring of course).

Way too many Taurus's in the yards around here too...
Look for them in the second gen cars, you can probably cross reference the year at Advance Auto's web site.

If you pull an alternator from a yard get the little harness with the single white/black wire with it. It makes the install a little easier and it will keep the factory look.

It has a thick yellow wire as well.I traced it through the harness and removed the whole wire.easy stuff.Works great.
