Default Alternator types

I haven't been on much since I moved. About 2 or 3 years ago I requested info on alternators and one of the forum members posted a web site with all types. Can't seem to find the post. I need to replace the resistor [ used in place of the charging light ] so the alternator will charge. OR if someone knows the bulb type I can also use it. It's on a race car so resistor or bulb is used just so it charges.

Thanks for all info.
