Or do what Joe advises, which is to get the original rebuilt and rewound. There are people who do that; I've had it done on old GM cars multiple times.

Joe's advice is indeed spot on. I know a guy like that. Many around these parts.

Alternators will need >1000 rpm to generate full otuput.

1100 rpm. I could never get the car to idle properly with the a/c on so I just don't use it.
