'95 Mustang Cobra. I've got the 3g small case on my '73, it fits perfectly where the old 60amp small case went. By far, one of the best things I've done to my car. It used to charge 12.8 with A/C and headlights on with the old alt., and went to 14.35 with everything on with the new one.

Thank you, are yous sure you got the small case 3g off of a 95 cobra? My 94 cobra has a large case, and the part number crossreferances to a 95 cobra as well.

do you know other vehicles a small case 3g or 6g might be on (like ones I could find in a junkyard)?

thanks

little 3g

Hello you can find the small 95 amp 3 g on a 92-94 ford aerostar and some 92-96 ford full size vans. Hope this helps Thanks Jason

I have the smaller case 3g, no cutting required. It is from like a 92 Ford Econoline V8 95 amp. The vans with a/c had 130 amp alternators, so go with the no a/c option if going to a parts store. Its not as good as a 130, but its better than stock crap.

Hey, just looked at Napa online, and found that a 1992 Aerostar suposidly come with a 60, 65, 70, 80, or 95 amp alt with both the 3 and 4L engine. You guys have a good methoud for visualy telling the diffrence at the junkyard?

thanks

Wish i could help with that one. If you go to some of the auto parts websites, I am thinking Advance Auto Parts. They will show you what models it is all used on. But to look at the outside of it and know. I don't know of the answer to that. Hope someone else can help you with this one.
