Help ID this alternator

It is on my 93 F350 - 460 not original, looks to be 3g with threaded upper hole. What did it come off??? I need to find and identical.

Not sure what it came off it, but at best it's rated for 95 amps peak output.

If that was on there before, you should just get a 130A unit and bolt that in instead since you know it'll fit.

That is a 95A 3G alternator, 180* ear orientation, 7.5" hole spacing.

Why do you think that? It's a 3G alternator, possibly a 3G/4G hybrid, and I don't see anything on there that indicates output amps.

Mine looks exactly the same and is rated for 250 amps.

Look between the webbing on the front of the case... there are 4 ventilation holes.
Those are only rated for 95A, some were rated less.

If it were to have 2 (larger) holes it would be the 130A model.

Look here:
