Cars with 3g alts?

I could swear around here somewhere was a list of cars that had 130amp 3g alternators from the factory, does anyone have the list handy?

thinking about nabbing one from the yard, taking it to advance auto, having it tested, and cleaning it up, to stick in the TC untill i can afford a brand new one
It's Gumby's fault.

Be careful when getting one from a 3.8 Taurus, most have wider spaced mounting than does our 2G(or the Hitachi on the TCs). I got a 130A from a 3.0 Taurus, it has the correct case to fit our mounts. I did re-clock(rotate the rear housing section) it so the wiring connections would be in the correct position, this may or may not be necessary on a TC. Almost two years later, my 12.99
u-pull-it 3G is still working fine.

dude even if the alt is bad. just buy the regulator. and if you want crack open the alt and clean it up. but most of the time the regulators go bad. i bought a brand new ford unit for 60 bucks. and it's been in 2 cars so far. never missed a beat
trick flow street heat intake , 24lbs injetors, ported GT-40's (Chip) long tube headers. and a Performance Automatic C4, with a hurst shifter!
