Default fiesta rst alternator , which one??

hi all, im just trying to find out whats the correct alternator for my 91 fiesta rst, thers the 55 and 75. but ive been told you have to have the right size battery for the alternator .. the alternator is only 18 months old and the batt light is constantly on, so what should the right size batt and alternator be ? iv also posted this up on the fiesta turbo .com site

75
I had the same problem on my car when my alternator packed up. Halfords gave me a new 55 alternator and after a week my lights where dipping and my battery light was coming on at idle. So sent it back and got a 75. Job done
