NJ Need to buy an alternator--suggestions?

I need to replace my alternator. I guess now would be a good time to upgrade to something that'll handle more power.
Outside of electrical component that come stock, I'm running a small pump for water injection and a 200w amplifier.
I'm looking for something inexpensive that will fit without major modifications.

..or should I just get a rebuilt stocker?

A very good upgrade for the FC is to put in an FD alternator.

I am sure there are more than a couple threads on the subject.

Here is one: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ernator+output
