Alternator alternatives?

I'm not sure which one of those model numbers works. As I stated, this alternator came from an FD that I bought to part out. The original owner got it from a company called Startech. There were no identifying numbers on it.

It mounts using the original pivot bolt with a nut on the back side. The stock adjuster bracket is close so I modified it to work (see pics).

It has a 4-wire plug plus the battery ring connector. I took the altenator apart to send the case off for cermaic coating then when it was reassembled an insulator got crushed so I burned up the voltage regulator the first time I ran the engine. I just got it back from a rebuild and had it converted to single wire (ring terminal from the battery only). In this configuration, the charge light on the dash won't work but when using the 4-wire plug the charge light worked but I didn't record how to wire it. I've attached some pdf's for the cs-144 that may be helpful.
