    BTW, Van,

     I've been very happy with my '88 Maxima alternator. It fits the RH side
of the U20 very nicely, has 90amp output and internal regulator. Simple two
wire hookup to "acc" terminal on ignition switch or to coil (+) via diode,
and to battery (+). And a bonus: your Nissan is still all Nissan! If
clearance is an issue, try a '84-'85 300zx Alt., 60amps and a smaller case.
Both the Maxima and 300 Alts have internal cooling fans.
