Click to expand... 2G alternators where the orginal alternators on 86-93 mustangs and put out a max of 65 amps. 3 Alternators were on 94 and later mustangs and put out 130 amps. Here's websites with pictures... See http://www.geocities.com/smithmonte/Auto/3G_130A_Alternator_Upgrade.htm - all the tech data you could ever want to know OR http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2001/03/paperformance/index2.shtml OR http://www.mustangcentral.net/tech/alternator.html - excellent pictures of installation For the right way to do the wiring. Some people will tell you that you can skip the wiring upgrade, but it will catch up with you sooner or later. A fire in the wiring harness is ugly and expensive.
