[TR] Alternative to Delco 10Si alternator?

[Andrew S. Mace]

 If the Delco has otherwise performed well for you, why not see if you can't
get it repaired/rebuilt locally?

The 10Si AC-Delco alternator on my TR4 is starting to make what sound like
bearing noises under electrical load, like when I put the headlamps on. I'm
planning to replace it before it actually fails.  I did the conversion using
instructions from this group and others that included grinding down the
mounting boss on the alternator to align the pulley with the water pump and
crank pulleys.

My question is: is there another alternator that I could swap in using the
same basic wiring without having to modify the case in any way?
