Anyone know of a similar autozone alternator off a similar backward-turning honda or equivalent that might be more in the 60A range?

edit: reading comprehension is fun...

14684: http://www.armatureserviceco.com/Sho...LTERNATOR.aspx is internally regulated. Is there something similar that's externally regulated?

Don't let an alternator that fits your requirements yet turns the "wrong" way prevent you from using it. Field history has proved that alternators can be reliable in our application regardless of whether on not they are rotating the "correct" way. The 14184 as delivered by Vans several years ago did not have a fan even though the automotive versions we purchase now do. Having a blast tube aimed at the diodes is good practice regardless of the alternator used.
