Try Ebay, there are a couple shops selling them online, just type in 3g Alternator, Most are less than $110. I'm using a 110 amp alternator out of a T-bird SC, changed around the wiring (Very simple) and I now get 13.3 V at idle with the lights, etc. on rather than 11.1 V with the old alternator. Just add a 2-4 guage wire and fuse from the + side of the alternator to the battery or solenoid. The SC alternator didn't require any grinding to fit the bracket and the top hole is threaded so it's a direct swap, took lessthan a half hour, wiring included.
