Alternator

I am looking to put a 130 amp alternator in my 79 F150 with a 351m. Any suggestions for brands or where I might find one? What should I expect to pay? Thank you for any help.

Got a Powermaster 70\140A, got it thru Summitracing, cost was $160-170 with shipping if I remember correctly-this was a few years ago-disclaimer Bolts in the stock mounts but runs a smaller pulley than stock, so you may need a shorter belt. It's a one-wire so you can eliminate the regulator and wiring when hooking up (if you have the idiot lite, then one wire must be connected). I kept mine intact, just in case-I have the stock alt., no problems and definately keeps up were the stocker dropped off, at idle or just above, night, off-road, snow, rain, defroster on high, wipers on high with every lite I have on (6@450 watts plus hi-beams@200 Watts).
