Alternator swap on 10v.... recommendations?

Ok... my alternator is toast.... spent a little too much time playing in the snowbanks this winter, and the alternator is dying. Along with getting it rebuilt, I was wondering what the highest output available is. I have heard of 150A bosch alternators that fit the 10v.... but I have no idea how to source one.

What do I need to order? If I go into a parts store (or a wreckers), which car do I need to specify?

Those rally lights put quite a strain on the charging system, and I'm planning on running more light in the future (custom H4+H1 conversion)

TIA

Seen this?

Quite expensive. My alternator is also on its last leg and I am planning to upgrade too. If you find a source for rebuild, please keep me posted.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ultranator.com">http://www.ultranator.com</a</li></ul>

I got a local place that rebuilds alternators for cheep...

50 bucks labor plus parts it cost me like 120 total for my alternator.

Ya, I've got a guy who I take all my stuff to....

he's an old-school kinda guy.... actually knows the inner workings of these sorts of things, not just how to replace parts and hook it up to a computerized tester.

I'm taking it to him....just wondered if there was a higher output alternator that I could easily source.
