Default which Alternator????

I am kinda being forced to get a new alternator (Mine is draining power back away from the battery when the engine is off). I am thinking about getting this one
http://store.summitracing.com/partde...p;autoview=sku

What do yall think (never heard of the brand before)?

Are there some that are better then others, and does anyone happen to havean alternatorlaying around they might be looking to part with that will work. The 140 AMPS is not a huge issue, but if I end up having to buy a new one I might as well upgrade to it for the extra $30 bucks or so.

if you can find one from a 94-95 stang it will work with minor grinding of your bracket, and it is a 3G 130 amp with an internal fan. I have one and it was easy towire up too.
