The Ford Barn

I have a 57 ford country sedan wagon and I’d like to put in a alternator. Would the Powermaster 82155-2 be an exact swap or is it only for tbird?

Also, would I need to upsize the wire to accommodate the increased amp or is it pretty much plug and play with stock wiring/bracket/belt.

Thank you.

Should be plug and play as long as the dimension are the same. Wire gauge, can't help there but should be the same. Then again I have been know to wrong once or twice before
