Default Alternator help

I'm looking for a 140 amp alternator to fit my 496HO. Having a hard time finding something. If anyone can lead me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Would you happen to know the name of the shop? What did it run you? Thanks

My 105 amp I got from them is 4 years old and just has a little rust on the back cover. Has worked great.

I'm in salt water... Not sure why but that thing looked like sunken treasure after a year... (I'm using the word treasure quite loosely)

Every time I call a place about the new alternator they can't help me because I don't know the name and part# of the stock one. I would think pretty much all 496HO's would have they same one and these places would know what it is. So I'm going to have to find time to go to storage to get that info off the stock alternator
