Alternator Upgrade Part Number Request

I would like to upgrade my 69 442 year internally regulated open face alternator to a higher output one. I've read through the alternator upgrade sticky but gathered a 1990 Delta alternator was suggested. When I try to find one on EBay or Rockauto, I get a picture of a 3 point universal alternator with a ribbed pulley.
Does anyone have a part number I can use to order a higher amperage (65-100 amps)?

Thanks, Randy

I used this one several times off a 91 corvette 105 Amp. I swap the the pulley from the serpentine to the v groove. Works great

I was tied up when I responded and forgot to add this pigtail adapter will make it an easy swap.

I am glad you added this post. I was going to say "his harness connections are different than the 91 Corvette".

FYI, the 1990 Delta was FWD. You want the alternator from a 1989-1990 Custom Cruiser, which is RWD and used the 307. That is a 105A CS130.

I'm not sure what additional equipment you have that requires a higher output, but personally I'd keep the open face front housing, and swap it onto a higher output 12SI for appearance sake.

Thanks Joe, didn't really need 105 amps but 37 or so wasn't cutting it. I will keep the original alternator for posterity.
