If you don't feel like waiting, Mechman.com. Similar current range as what Eggy suggested.

I see a 180A HO Alt. on DC Power and then a 320A. No 200-250A for my TL. Also on Mechman it doesn't list an Alt for a TL at all. That was the first site I hit up as that is who I bought my battery from. Can I use a diff. alt. from an Accord maybe? I want it to be an OEM fit so I don't have to use a different bracket or modifying anything so it'll fit properly.

also are DC Power HO Alts stock sized casings and are these poor for low rpm charging?

Call Mechman when they open back up tomorrow. I know they don't list anything for a 1st gen CL, but they have a handful of alts for my car that are direct bolt ins.

DC Power and Mechman both run smaller than stock pulleys, which means they'll output more current at idle than stock.
