I purchased a 130 amp alt from a vendor that said it was NOS and the correct 'ssp specific" alternator for my 92 chp car. I paid huge bucks for the thing and when it got here I had to take it down to a machine shop, along with the "actual correct ssp specific original" alt off my 92 FHP car, to have it put on a c-n-c machine to get it machined properly so it would line up with the original bracketry on the engine. This alternator did not have a ford part number on it, and when I researched it through my ford dealer it turned out it was a bronco replacement alt. total BS to say the least.

the item that had the part number ground off when it arrived was the larger 130 amp alternator bracket that has the 7 inch bolt hole spacing. again I paid big bucks for the thing and when it arrived the part number was ground off.

needless to say I don't buy any more stuff from this particular vendor.
