info is all in the thread in the second link.
But here's a working link to the product:
http://www.lectriclimited.com/shoppi...?id=1058987531

you want either VAK6368SI or VAK6368CS, depending on whether you want a CS or SI type alternator.
Powermaster has some NICE chrome alts :-)

Many make the conversion to a later model, internally regulated alternator. Depends on how much charging current you need and how original you want to be.

Unless you plan on adding some additional accessories in the near future personally, I'd go with the easiest, cheapest and most reliable fix and just purchase a VR-715 and motor on. My .02
