I hear ya!
I just put a GM on my 67 and it is too big-ish. I say 'ish' because it does
work and ok. You can buy nice, small one wire GM fit alternator from Summit
and Jegs, but they are pricy.
Also, not sure what year you have, but the pictures Pete put up are the
early alt. The late are moved forward and have a large single mounting
point at the front of the alternator.
