biggest alternator

for our cars that will fit in factory brackets? what are my options?
with the UD pulley on the car, the volt gauge has always been right next to the red. well lately it has been dipping into the red. today it decided to call it quits.
all suggestions welcome

same issues here, I put a 140 amp alternator in still see low volts with idle, I guess just something we will have to put up with having underdrive. 140 amp alt did help out though might just be because alt was new compared to old alt though??

They have a 200 amp alternator that I think will work.

They also have some 200 and 160 amp direct fit alternators.

This was under F-body specific alternators, so im guessing that it mounts in the stock location with the stock hardware.

Year Engine Size AMPs Price
93-97 5.7 160 210.00
93-97 5.7 200 250.00
