Hey so I am looking to get a new alternator and I need some input. I have the stock alternator now and it works just not with my underdrive pulleys. SO Taking the pulleys off is not an option..and I am running a pretty serious stereo so its all real hard on the stock alt. so I got in touch with PA Performance and I have 3 options, 95 amp @ $209, 130 amp @ $239 and 200 amp @ $329, and those prices are for a powdercoated alternator the case being blue and the center being chrome plated. SO is the 200 alt worth the money?

Ryan, I run a 130 on mine. Works well. Unless you want pretty, get a j/y unit for 40 bucks and be done. I have one for when I have to send my PA unit in for repair. (4 times)
yea but what alternator goes on without any mods? I am up for any options, but would really like to install and go without too much hassel. 4 times?? dang at least it has a lifetime warranty! no i had called for another issue which i am still trying to wrap my head around.
i got a 150 amp 3g from eagleautoelectric in northridge calif on e-bay about 1 year ago and have had no problems. it was listed as new then... now they advertise remanufactured for $107.00 including shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/Ford-Mustang-5-0...d=p3286.c0.m14

If I remember right all I had to do was grind the alternator bracket some to make mine if fit and I think I changed the hot wire to it don't know if I had to but I did it cuz the extra amp load, regulator wire plugged right in. it was very easy to do. I also believe it was 130 amp.
