Default Difference between 95A & the 130A alternator.

Hi all can somebody give me a hand and direct how to find the difference between the two alternators so I can replace the one in my 1998 XLT 4.0L?

Thanks in advance.
Paul

I looked at Rock Auto and Advance Auto Parts web sites and found a visual difference. Looking at the face of the alternator on three locations at equal distances apart, on the casting of the unit a 95A a unit has four holes on the casting, and on the 130A unit in the same location there are only two holes.
It would be nice to confirm this another way.

Go with the 130a, Even with moderate audio gear, aux lighting, or just in general, the 95a works for the application alright but for the application I feel that it's pretty weak for a truck application in my opinion.
