[DeTomaso] Good three-wire alternator?

Besides the wire size problem and the usual corrosion at all the contacts 
that also increase load, a high amp alt usually needs dual vee belts or a 
gilmer/serpentine drive for more than 90 amps- which being wider cause problems 
with DeTomaso's engine access door clearances and engine pully sourcing. 
'Course that's only a problem with high-amp draws, but why bother carrying the 
extra weight if you're not planning on pulling more amperage than stock? 
My 2¢- J DeRyke (happy with a 75-amp Denso & a single vee belt)
