just make sure you notch out the one part of the alt. bracket in back. if you dont the 130 amp alt will not fit..

yea i will...this will be the next major thing i do.....cause ill make it home on this but the old alt drained my new battery...its charging now.

This is a good upgrade but, be sure to upgrade the wire to the alternator. I got some heavy duty wire, a fusible link & HD connectors from a local alternator shop for about $14. Money well spent. If you plan to upgrade to an electric fan, water pump and/or a bigger stereo amp the 3G alternator is a must.

on my old 88 it had an 130amp alt. and with a volt gauge it never went under 15 volts... definatly recommend

I installed one off a 95 Mustang GT. It's a very good mod to do. With my electric fan, MSD ignition, and stereo it would dim the lights at idle and almost stall the car. Now with the new alt, lights never dim and the volt gauge only moves a little.
