Alternator Options for March Performance (pulley) Bracket?

I purchased a complete set of March pulleys & brackets.  However, after trying all afternoon to press the old 2-groove pulley off of the old alternator with a hydraulic press, I've given up.

So after looking at the alternator setup on my '05 Ram, it gave me an idea.  Unfortunately, after checking all over SW Houston, nobody has an alternator for a '02 - '05 Ram.  The March alternator bracket is pretty universal; I just need an alternator with two mounting points.  What are the other options for obtaining an alternator with a 6 groove pulley with two mounting points?  What about a 90's vehicle?  The amperage output isn't much of a concern since I've upgraded the wiring (the old 80 amp alternator is off of an '83 Dodge truck).

Thanks!  ;D

Take it to a shop, they can do it in a few minutes pretty cheap.  It is easy when you have the right tools.

UPDATE: I found the solution:   :icon_smile_big:  :icon_smile_big:
F.Y.I.
I purchased an alternator for a '94 Dodge minivan.  The pulley has the correct # of ribs and is almost the same diameter. I purchased a voltage regulator (and a P/S Pump) for an '89 Fifth avenue and I'm set!  The voltage never drops below 13.70.

I did, however, have to modify the original alternator bracket slightly in order to use the adjustable rod that came with March performance.
