Default ID my alternator

Hi Guys

Im in need of help ID'ing my alternator in order for me to upgrade it to a higher amp one. Its a 72 with a 350 Elderbrock pro flo fuel injected engine. Id like to order one from summit but there are so many options that im lost. I know its a v-belt and im aiming for 140+amp but what about 1 or 3 wire capability and casing style?

Pics:




1 or 3 wire? casing style?

cannt tell from the picture what alternator you have, would need the number and even then if it has been modified would only be able to tell you what it originally was. No alternator rebuilders in your neck of the woods?

I have ID it as a 100 amp Delco Remy SI alternator with a v-belt pulley. Now im trying to find a CS144 one with a v-belt pulley setup. Would it be possible to buy a regular one and switch pulleys?
