In 1987 CHP began discussions with Ford reference upgrading the alternator output on SSP Mustangs. There were several pilot programs designed that included switching out 1000 65 amp alternators to the new Ford 3G 95 amp unit. The pilot program was never put in place and eventually cancelled as Ford was designing something new (130amp alts). There were 3 CHP mustangs modified with the 95 amp alternator that required a wiring harness adaptor. They were switched back when the pilot program was scrapped in March of 1988.

As for the 92 CHP cars I can say that my 92 CHP car came with the harness for a 130 amp alternator and the bracket for a 130 amp alternator. The bracket has a 7 inch bolt to bolt opening versus the smaller opening for the smaller alternator.

My 92 FHP had the 130
My 93 FHP has the 130
My 93 SCHP does not have the 130.

On the build sheet for DSO 72-0002 for my 92 CHP car the alternator code is

#31 G
#32 T

Option G.........bonding straps
Option O........CHP supression

Not sure if the alternator is included in either of those DSO options, but I know CHP had been screaming for higher output alternators since 1987.
