you must get the harness that goes on the alternator and run a power wire to the solenoid on the driver side and grind down the alternator bracket to clear the alternator.

I like the alternator out of a 94-95 mustang .the taurus plug is in a different position.also a 175 amp fuse and holder out of an expedition can be had at the junk yard for 5 bucks.

Are you using smaller pulleys? my 95 does because of the pulleys.

Run a 1/0 gauge wire (with an inline fuse) directly from your batt. to alt.

I'm not sure how to search post, but I posted a thread just like yours a couple months ago and the wonderful members were nice enough to give a full breakdown of what I needed. If you can look for my thread.
Good Luck,
