i used the denso alternator that came from a 90 shadow. Get the tensioner brackets and everything with it however.

Check the fusible links by the driver's side strut tower.
These are usually bad or poorly repaired.

Here, with some more time, you can do it without notching the frame, I was just simply out of time with that car, very long story, lol.

I think I forgot to add that you'll need the stud/nut deal for the later style tensioner off of the pump housing. The old style one won't work with the new tensioner.

Here is how I installed mine. Small amount of welding was needed.
