One of these should do the job for front wheel drive Fords amongst others. They were used on many different vehicles. You need to purchase a v-pulley version, not a serpentine belt one of course.
Type Ford 55a Alternator into E bay and look at the descriptions to see what they fit. Loads of different cars.

Here some of the reference numbers as thy were copied by loads of firms. A nice Bosch one would be good of course for longevity.

Here are a couple of similar units fitted to my silver and green cars respectively. I pulled the boot. You need the heat shield! Alternators do not like getting too hot. No new brackets required. Just ensure you have shimmed so the pulleys align.
You need to take the 4TR out of the circuit as these alternators self-regulate ( 4TR repros are pretty unreliable in my experience so this is a reason alone for doing it). This is the black plastic thing that lives on the bulkhead under the heater and goes wrong alot. It is a matter of unplugging one wire from memory to complete remove it from the circuit. If you really want to know which wire to unplug it will have to wait until tomorrow because it is cold out there.
