3rd generation alternator used on ALL mustangs from 1994-present

it's a 135 amp alternator instead of our puny 65's, just be sure to run an extra 4guage cable running to the positive.

3G is a good idea if you have extra electrical requirments from your car i.e. electric fan, stereo system, msd ignition system, etc. it'd be good upgrade.
