I used a 130A alternator out of a 3.0 Taurus from the junkyard ($15) and robbed the pigtail with teh connectors as well. Search around on the Mustang forums as well. Several have done this mod and it's worth it

I see you have a 88 F150 with 302.
Is this 130A alt. from the Tarus used in this truck?
I was wondering if this same 3.0L Tarus alternator would work with my 91 F150 with 302?
Thanks!

[QUOTE=KDPate]Yes, it is the same alternator that is used ona 3.0L Taurus and it will work on your truck. Just be careful when you do get one. There are two different sizes (7" bolt centers and 8" bolt centers I think). The Smaller bolt center is the one that works with the factory alternator bracket (bracket will have to have one brace cut out of it for fitment). Just be sure to get some 4 gauge cable and a megafuse (200A) and holder (both from a car audio store) and chunk the little black orange wires from the system. here is a write up I did for my truck on a local forum for a better understanding:

Thanks again,
