Default best source for quest alternator?

Who knows the best brand/supplier for a quest alternator conversion? There seem to be several versions of this alternator, with some versions requiring less work than others.

I'd use Advance Auto Parts.
- Lifetime warranty
- Free shipping (over $75)
- Always have good coupons, such as this one http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web.../save-on-parts

Can you tell me the brand name or part number that you used? Also, what did you need to do to make it fit?

You can get a new one on Ebay for $135 shipped and he will put a new six groove pulley on it for free. I received it 3 days after the order.
