best type alternator?

No. None of them will put out more than is called for by the regulator. Size/rating of the fusible link didn't change with the higher output alternators either.
Wiring problems either exist or they don't, even without an alternator.
that being said, what is the best p lace to look for the VR???? the mechanical ones or the new age electronic ones?????? thanks for the input..
one another note, I was in a great smallish town NAPA store today. such a greater offering of stuff other than the usual o reilly, auto zone type store!! just me.....
