replacement alternator needed

My OEM is oil soaked

While I have the P.S. pump and radiator out, I'd like to install a new not rebuilt or from China unit. I'm not having any luck finding one to my liking. Price is less important than quality BTW. I only want to do this once.

haha, I did find a NOS alternator for $600+ so I eat my works,"Price is less important than quality " . I ended up installing a lowly 60 amp Autozone Duralast Gold that is made in CHINA. It has a OEM case with new internals so I'm hopeful. May be in time I will find something better but I'm not keen on swapping if it ain't broke.

I changed mine over to a GM internal reg. conversion. Worked out great.

I have done that with Willys 4x4's in the past that had 6v generators. Not at all what I'm looking to do here with this pickup.
