Correct Alternator 1981 Ford Fairmont 6 cyl

What is the correct alternator for a 1981 Ford Fairmont

6 cyl 3.3 L. auto transmission. No air conditioning. No large audio amp or anything like that. Nothing extra.

Listed is a 60 amp and a 100 amp alternator.

Hypothetically say my vehicle requires the 60amp alternator, what problems if any will I create if I install the 100 amp one if it fits physically.

Will I overcharge the battery?

Thanks in advance Denny B

No, you'll just spend more money, if it fits.

No. From the information given, you don't even need the 100 amp.
