Any B-series from a 92-95 motor (has to have an OBD-1 plug on it). They're all the same.

Then get a 90-91 LS or 88-91 SiR alternator... same plug. Basically, get what ever year B-series alternator to the wiring harness that you're using in your car (ex: if you have a 97 civic, and using a 97 civic harness, use a 96+ B-series alternator)

Ive heard something about this; lets say you use a 95 ls alternator distributor etc with a your b20, the bigger crank pulley of the b20 will eventually cause the LS alternator to burn out. Anyone else heard this?
