Its tough to beat Powermaster for a reasonably priced made in USA part.

The only problem Ive had, and this goes for both 1 and 3 wire alternators, is its easy if you have one of the aftermarket brackets setups like I do to overtighten.

With the heim joint type tightening mechanisms, Ive messed up the front bearing on two different alternators. You expect that heim to get hard to spin when its tight, but it give you a pretty good mechanical advantage and you can get them pretty darn tight just with your fingers.
