I need to buy a HO alternator, as my stocker has bit the dust. I have a painless 4-hi headlight mod, dual battery kit, a couple KC 8" offroad lights, and a stereo. I'm thinking a 200amp should do just fine. Was looking for suggestions on a good brand to go with? I was looking at mean-green or Motor City Reman. Are these good brands?

Also, I'm not sure what year alternator to buy. It's a carb'd 350 with 305 heads on it. Block number is 3970010 which is a '69 to '80 I believe, and head numbers are 14014416 which are '80-'85 if I recall correctly.

The alternator that came off it was a one wire unit. Any way to tell which year alternator I need to order?
