Good quality Alternator?

Good day, I just picked up a L and L high mount alternator bracket for my 429 and was just wondering who makes a good quality Alternator. The kit says it can fit a large body Alternator so I’m thinking a 3G would be best? Also it needs to be a 1 wire set up. What’s your thoughts? Thanks!

I'm running a tuff stuff 1 wire alternator on both of my vehicles. Pretty happy with them so far. Voltage almost never drops below 13, even with headlights/heat/electric radiator fans on.

You may want to double check the clearance. High mount brackets usually hit the head with anything bigger than stock. 3G is nice, and 1-wire is great to get rid of all that wiring.

Thanks a bunch. I ended up ordering a 130amp 3G alternator.
