Be specific to request the Bosch unit. I went to PepBoys aware that they
did not have the Bosch unit and that I would be buying a Motorcraft rebuilt
replacement for the Fiesta. I figured it couldn't be that much different,
but it was... I had to make all new brackets, new spacers, etc.; too much
work for the $40 price of the alternator. So I just repaired my Lucas 18ACR
and put that back on, and I'm very happy with it.
