Default 98' deville: what alternator do i need to buy to replace bad one

98 deville: VIN# 1G6KD54Y2WU748716 i have no idea what type of alternator i need to purchase in order to replace my bad one........the reason i'm asking this is because i noticed out there that they have different amps and pulley system may be different as far as MM.......

I went to the NAPA website and put in my information and it came up with many different options for this vehicle.......just need some guidance on what part number i should go with or website to purchase from.......just totally lost....

The alternator has a GM part number on it.

you got a part # on the pulley, a part number on the stator, probably a TAG (if not removed) for the whole assy .. two pulley sizes were used ...

i believe they are all 140 amps for that year.

i be taking the unit to the parts counter and ask them to match it ...

Your Service Parts ID Label should have generator data on it.

the Service Parts Identification label should be in the spare wheel well or underside of lid.
