Default Pre '91 alternator swap???

So we've all heard of the ZJ 5.2L alternator swap, & after seeing a post on bc4x4.com on the swap I went & got it from the JY... After tearing mine out I found its no where near the same! So back to the drawing board, after more searching with no luck here I am...

Any one know of a upgraded swap for the PRE '91 4.0 XJ alternator?

Thanks

I'm not too sure but I think the ZJ swap works with the 91 motor and up.
I am also looking into putting one in my 94 because I have KC Daylighters on a light bar that will kill my 96 amp alternator. Here is a link that may be helpful. http://www.bc4x4.com/tech/2004/jeepalt/ ...Tj

Ya like I said I followed this mod, but a PRE '91 4.0L's don't have the same alt!

Anyone know of a alternator that puts out more than 100 amps I can swap into my 1989???
