I think I have an old SWEM kit that I inherited with my B20 (has the "ear" but not used). To it is bolted a "1-wire" delco alternator. Of course I tried to install it as a "regular" delco and had nothing but trouble until I tried the 1-wire method (and 'lo it WORKS!).

My point is that I've never had a problem with delcos, even in my race cars. They are lightweight and dependable. I suggest if you tend to burn them out, that you see if you can find a larger pulley so it turns slower.

I went with the delco 'cause they are less than $10 at the local Pick-yer-part and are nearly always in decent running condition.
