I need to know what comes in the box with their 3G 130 amp Alternator. The upgrade one, that is.

In the description for 87-93 Mustang 5.0 130 Amp Alternator by Pa Performance. It says on..

What's in the box?
(1) 130 Amp Alternator
Electrical connector Hardware packet
Install Instructions
Warranty information packet

My question is, what is the electrical connector Hardware packet? Is that "
Mustang 2G To 3G Small Parts Alternator Kit - by PA Performance Item # PA-9901 "
Or do I need to buy that separately? I need to know if it comes with the small bolt and the stator wire like in the packet.

In case you're wondering, I decided to go the PA route instead of just find a 96 3.8 alternator. $156 for a new no name 130 amp alt. I'm not saving a whole lot . Versus the $179 for the PA alternator. But I still need to buy the 4 Ga. wire kit and whatever else. Do I need the wire with the noise suppression? Isn't there some kind of noise suppression in the factory wiring harness someplace?

This is the upgrade alternator from PA Performance for 5.0's. I'm getting it off LRS.
Search Results - We Carry Most Ford and GM Applications
3rd alternator on top on PA's site. I just can't tell if it has the stator wire or not. I guees i'm just going to order the stator plug. Iif it comes with it already then I guess i'll have an extra stator plug...shrug.

there's a dude on the corral that sells a complete kit with wiring. You usually can find him on the windsor section of the classifieds.

The alternator does include the small bolt, stator wire, ring terminals, butt connector, heat shrink, & instructions for installation. The PA units are BRAND NEW & carry a lifetime warranty. Something else to consider is the 4ga power wire upgrade with built in noise suppression.

Thanks LRSjmac. That's what I was looking for.

Alt and wiring ordered, along with those dern fan shroud support clips. As soon as I get this done, i'm heading to the bone yard and looking for one of those dual e-fans from a Contour. I like the slim profile of those instead of the bulky Taurus fan setup. Just looks less crowded that way.

Until I find one, i'll be using my stock fan shroud.

Glad we could help! We definately appreciate your patronage, & hopefully you come across a great deal on a Contour fan setup.
