This is a direct-fit, high-output alternator for the 2001-2004 Ford Mustang with the 3.8L V6 engine. It mounts in the stock alternator location.
It has a 14.8 volt GM-style internal regulator with a pigtail plug. It is not plug-and-play and must be wired with a pigtail plug. Regulators with other voltage setpoints are available separately and must be purchased with the alternator if a specific charging voltage is needed.
The alternator comes with a smaller pulley, which makes it spin faster than a larger pulley and can help it reach its maximum output. A belt that is 1/2" to 1" shorter is required with the smaller pulley. A high-output alternator requires the Big 3 wiring upgrade. 1/0 100% copper wire is recommended for it.
