Jeff: The Bosch alternator should be available thru Rock Auto Parts.
(rockauto.com).
It's Bosch P/N 13107, 55A, and was available on the fiestas that had A/C.
Price was IIRC under $60.
Usually, it will come with the pulley, but sometimes their stock does not
have one, but it's available thru. Jegs,e.g.

Subject: [TR] TR6 Alternator conversion
First, I apologize for bringing up a topic that has been discussed many
times.
But, the alternator in my '72 TR6 needs replacement for obvious reasons.
The
output is not enough at idle and the wires (I have a 5-wire connection)
and it
needs replacement. Dan Master's excellent book explains several different
wiring options in detail. He recommends to use the GM alternator. Others
recommend to use a remanufactured '78 Ford Fiesta Bosch alternator w/55A
which
gives almost a bolt-on replacement. And I can use Dan's wiring schematics
for
the electrical hookup. My main problem is locating the Fiesta alternator.
Does
anyone have a specific source for this Bosch alternator with fan and
pulley? I
spent hours trying to locate one that is remanufactured, carrying some
sort of
warranty. But, I have not yet found suppliers, like AutoZone, Summit, NAPA
nor
Pep Boys. I don't want to search at junk yards. Does anyone have any
recommendations?
Thanking in advance,
Jeff N.
