alternator
 
Well I just blew the stock alt. on my 91GT, and I am looking into getting a 130amp unit. Is it a direct replacement, or do I have to do some modifying? I am thinking of getting it from PA Performance, are they good?

I like mine, it has been trouble free. The mods are at the alt. just changing the terminals.

You might have to grind a little bit on the bracket, but other than that it should be excellent, not to mention 3x the charging. ~Brian

dont go spending a ton of money on the PA performance one... just go to the parts store (autozone) and get one for a stock 95 GT. they are a direct bolt on and are 130 amps. all you have to do is make a few simple wire alterations that anybody can do... do a search on the web for 130 amp alt conversion or something and you will get full detailed instructions...

take care,

Here are a few sites, very simple to do and to save huge $$ like avbcon12 says, go to Autozone ($130)!!

www.mustangcentral.net/tech/alternator.html

www.50tech.com/index.php?action=3G

www.racesystems.com/3gproj/index.htm

there are many more...
pick the one that makes the most sense...

wow, $130?!? my local autozone had one for $99 with a full lifetime warranty...

take care,

your lucky, your reply made me check back at my local autozone. Man why aren't the prices the same nationally?!! I pay more for my parts here then you? I'm writing a letter!:)

I bought a burnt out 130 amp on eBay for about $5.00 and my local autozone will give me $40 for it when I buy a new one for $99. So the alternator will only cost me $65.

Go to autozone, don't spend a fortune with somone else.
