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 ...
