Randy:
One of the most popular alternators for hot rodded cars around here is the
Delco unit for the 1965 Corvette high-output (62 amp) unit that can be used
as a 1 or 3-wire hook-up, your choice. They are so popular that most
automotive electric shops carry them in-stock. Mine cost me $72 after a $40
core refund when I turned in my old one a couple of months ago. (Then you
can rightfully attend gatherings of all of the "Big 3", as well as Brit Car
meets, having parts from Ford, Chrysler and GM aboard!)
