2nd Generation Need a new alternator

My original alternator (70 amps, v6) needs to be replaced. Should I buy the 80 amp duralast from autozone to replace my alternator? I think it would fit but I'm not sure. If you could recommend a good high amp replacement alternator that would be great.

You can go with either a 70 or an 80 amp alternator...they'll both fit, as long as they're the right part for your car. If you're running a big stereo and fog lamps, I'd recommend the 80 amp. It saves my headlights from dimming at idle.
