Okay, so my alternator decided to just crap out on me last night...and now my car's parked at my friends house. so...I need a new alternator.

At the same times I'm deciding that I want to get a 3G because later I want to put on an electric fan and an electric water pump pulley. My question is...will a 95amp be fine, or do i need the 130amp?

Either a 95 or 130 amp alternator will requre a wiring upgrade. Both alternators will probably be the same price. With those things in mind, do a 130 amp and only have to do it once.

Stangnet 3G install sticky showing all the wiring changes (2 wires) and other information - see http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=646825

Read the first page and you have all the wiring and mount bracket changes in an easy to follow format.

dont forget to upgrade all your wires and to add a good fusible link.
