theres a GM Alternator that you can use that is an easy bolt on, and it's got a way better amperage and it's a lot more reliable from what people have said.

 

there's a thread made already that has a link to a site that shows you how to cut the bracket to install it. you only need to cut the bracket once, and use a longer bolt. it's simple.

 

search for threads made by me, and threads regarding my fuel pump and it will come up =)

If you don't any more power that the stock alternator can handle, I think that the easiest upgrade is going with an internally regulated alternator from a 1978 Z to 1983 ZX. The electrical mods are simple and are detail here: http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/alternatorswap/index.html

 

There are several options if you want a higher-rated alternator. I chose to go with the Delco-Remy 12si on all three of our Z's because of the higher output capabilty, availabilty and low cost. Here's the link to the article I wrote about swapping in a GM alternator:
