You can have your original "built up" at any good automotive electric shop. I think they just rewind it with bigger wire. I just did my 67 GTO, Went from 60 amps to 140. Cost $100.00. Advantage is that you still use an external regulator and maintain that original look. I used Auto Electric in Marietta Ga, they will probably just let you ship it to them. The exterior came back looking new too.If you just want a new one try a truck shop.

Look for a place in town that rebuilds alternators. They should be able to fix you up.

By the way , you will need a new voltage regulator too if you increase the size of the alt

Check out www.madelectrical.com they have a good article on alternators and part numbers of delco 12SI types which go up to about 95 amps in a OEM design meaning they are designed for high current, with proper cooling, etc. not just a rewind which may output over a hundred but not work at idle, or burn up because of insufficient cooling.
