Let me say that as of now I have neither am am not any type of purest, would a Ford 3 wire alternator or a Delco 10SI better serve me. I believe I can do the wiring so that don't bother me, so is just a matter of preference? I am looking for maybe a 100 amp alternator or is just too much alternator? Thanks for your help-

Delco small case 100 amp fits in on just about anything, easy to wire. Looking at it from the back of alt, the regulator plug left side goes to a keyed source(ignition) and the right side can be jumped for full time power to the main battery stud on alt, this is the 12si style alt. Good luck. Happy wiring.

I ahte to be wishy washy on this but that Delco is looking sweet. I just came from auto zone and they have delco-duralast for 89.99 WITH a lifetime warrranty- looking better

The Delco 12si is 94 in a 94 amp output, and there are several ways to mount it. You can get a serpentine or standard pulley, and clocking of the case plug to the mounting bracket can be set at 3, 6, or 9 o'clock positions. The clocking options give you flexibility to keep the wiring plug up where its easier to see, regardless of whether the alternator is mounted low/high, right/left, etc.

This article the parts numbers and cars for various 10si and 12si alternators. Its not 100% accurate, but very close. That way you can just go in to the parts store and say "I need a 94 amp alternator for a 1985 Camaro with a 305."
