my altenator went out, and i guess im going to upgrade to the 3g, anybody know of a good place to order one from

 

First read this to make sure you get everything for the conversion.

Any parts store will have the alternator.

 

Local junkyard, or just go to autozone and get one. there is a huge list of ford cars that come stock with them.

well ill probably just get one from junkyard cause i need my car for work and school and i dont think i can wait 1 week if i order one online, ok so by reading on that write up i leave the d plug alone which is going to connect to 3g and i cut other connector with 3 wires which has the two fat wires and the little black\white stripe, and i need a stator plug to connect that black\w-stripe wire and i connect other 2 fat wires with a terminal ring and is going to go connected to stud in back of 3g, and i run a 4 gauge also with a fuse to starter solenoid is this right

 

Yes, that's correct. Your belt should work since the pulley is not that much different in diameter. But just in case keep in mind you may need a belt change to get the proper tension.

 

thanks for info everybody i just installed the alt i was able to find a 3g alt with the factory harness in the back so i didnt have a problem installing it. Now next on my list is installing an electric fan

 

Yup, gotta love the junk yard performance! I'm going to be doing my 3g upgrade for less than $20 .

 

^^ I did

 

What other car besides the sn95's came with 3g alternators?

 

Here is a list of vehicles that have the 3G alternator, most are 130A, but some might be 110A:
94-96 Mustang 3.8 V-6
94-95 Mustang 5.0
94-96 Thunderbird 3.8 V-6 (non SC)
95-96 Windstar 3.0 V-6 (most are 3.8's)
93-96 E/F series Trucks/Vans 4.9 L6*
96 Sable 3.0 V-6
94-96 Cougar 3.8 V-6
*Probably the best one if you can get it (should be easy to find, too) is off the E/F series...this series uses a

threaded top ear like the stocker on the Mustang....E/F series with threaded ear uses metric bolt. ALSO, make sure

the E/F series is 130 Amps and NOT 95.


**Thanks mattdel for this information you gave me a few years back.
