What vehicles had a 130A 6G?

[rockytoohot]

Does anyone know what vehicles if any came with a 130 amp 6G alternator. I want to upgrade from the stock one on my 91 LX 5.0. I have heard the 6G creates less heat, takes less power to turn, and bolts on with no bracket grinding unlike the 3G. I will go with a 3G if I can't find a 130 amp 6G, but I think the benefits make it worth looking for one. Thanks for your help.

I am not sure what Vehicles came with the 6G, you would have a much easier time locating a 3G and there is not that much material to grind away.

I converted to a 3G on my old LX. That site says they came in 130, 160 and 200 amps configurations, but if memory serves most of them were only rated at 95-amps on the early SN95's? Can anyone confirm or deny this?

As far as Mustangs go, early SN95 Mustangs all had a minimum 130 amp alt.

Looks like i'm going to go 3G. Guess it's off to the parts store on monday.

Does that include the V6's as well?

Apparently we are both correct. After a little research, it appears that some early SN95's and other Ford Vehicles could be had with the 95A as well as the 130A version of the 3G alternator (and if I recal after inspecting it, the 3G I pulled from the early SN95 V6 I got mine off of was in fact one of the 95A versions....I'm almost certain). Either way, I had a decent stereo as well as under drive pulleys and electric fan and never had any charging issues...even at idle.

Here's how to tell the difference between the two for those who are interested....

...and a list of possible donor vehicles.

3G 130amp Donor Vehicles:

(1994-95) Ford Mustang 5.0L
(1994-00) Ford Mustang 3.8L
(1994-97) Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar 3.8L
(1990-95) Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable 3.8L
(1993-99) Ford Taurus, Mercury Sable 3.0L
(1995-98) Ford Windstar 3.8L & 3.0L
(1991-94) Lincoln Continental 3.8L
(1992-97) Ford F Series Pickup
(1992-96) Ford E Series Van

Be carefull there was a 95amp 3G, it's ok, but not high-power.
Most of the 130amp 3G's will crank out 140-160amps.
There are about 6 different mounting styles. 2 are good.

I would just buy the 130A 3G that PA Performance sells as a direct replacement for the 5.0 mustang. It comes with everything you need for the install but you need to get the larger gauge wiring kit either from a stereo shop or from PA. It was easy to install and works great. The cost is not much more than getting a stock 95 mustang alternator from auto parts store.
