You can use a Bosch alternator from a mid 80's VW..(golf I think) that has an internal regulator. Rated at 75 amps. And is pretty darn close to a direct bolt in.(need to cut the upper bracket) Other than that about a 20 min installation. I can get a part # if anyone is interested. Also the S-10 clutch kit I bought(Rock Auto) came with a pilot and throw out bearing,and the installation tool.
