I just have a local auto store 115A reman on my 560. I could take a picture but nothing really to show, looks the same as the 80A, just a slightly bigger case. Stock belt works fine, just have to reclock the alternator so the power cable lug is in the proper position.
If you have not done that $2 mod to the regulator (probably less if you buy the diode online, 1N5402), go ahead and do it. It adds about 0.5V to the alt output.
Lastly, I am all about buying local. Hit up your auto store or automotive electrical shop.
