84 SD alternator help please asap

I installed an after market alternator with higher out as suggested here. It had different connections on the alternator which I modified to work.
My problem is that the nut holding the pulley and fan blade on backed off and trashed the pulley, fan and somehow the shaft threads.
I have multiple problems.
Need a new alternator because the shaft threads are stripped off. The problem is that alternators come without the pulley and blade. Where can I find these items.
The other problem is that I was going to installed a stock alternator but it will need the original connector that plugs into the back. I don't have that part. Where can I find the connector?


Thanks

Buy one from the wrecking yard, or maybe one of our fellow forum members has a spare. Unfortunately, I do not.

Check the Yellow Pages for someone that rebuilds starters and alternators. In my latest alternator adventure, the replacement from NAPA wouldn't even turn. The mechanic called an independent rebuilder, and he had parts to put together a new piece. Going to the pick & pull is another good option, if they have the part.

seemed like a fitting answer.



I purchased an alt from Eagle Auto Electric I believe it was on ebay for my SD to replace the cute 65A alt I have on there. The one is around 120A or something.

Reason being I was discharging the car in city driving last summer with the A/C on.

I picked up a "new" alternator with pulley for my car off ebay. A seller had NSA manufactured alternators. Don't know if they have your model, but its worth a shot. You can also find pulleys on most of the internet parts suppliers pages.
