where to get alternator kit?

I had the oil temp light/coolant light/battery light come on very dim the past couple of days, along with a ticking sound under hood. I had my alternator and battery tested at Advanced Auto Parts. The battery was perfect, but the alternator has an open diode. I have tried searching, but can't seem to find any information on where to buy a kit for this fix. If someone could point me into the right direction, that would be awesome! Thanks!

the ticking is the airpump going on and off due to the low voltage. replace the alternator with a mazda rebuilt unit, the 140amp ones talked about sound good....
