alternator upgrade

While driving my 88 home today i noticed that the voltage gauge was hovering on 12V. also having problems with the car stalling after it first starts and i can make it stall if I load it.

either way

I'm going to need an alternator and I want better than stock.

what are my options?

are there any writeups on how to modify wiring harness for maybe the fd alternator or is there a better alternative?

THANKS!!!

check the FAQ, if i am not mistaken there is a diagram showing the differences of the alternators and there should be a write up some where here on how to mod the wiring harness of the S4 for an FD alternator.
