A 3G is a new-generation Ford alternator. If you'e got a 5.0 you can use a 3G from a '94-'95 Mustang. The 130-amp 3G is almost twice as powerful as the stock 75-amp unit originally in your car. Your original alt would be a 2-G (if internally regulated) or 1-G if externally regulated.

That would be the alternator. The 3G is a 130 amp unit.
