Where do you folks usually go if you need an alternator?  Mine is on it's 
last
leg and here's what i've found so far:

rockauto = $43
oreilly - $38 (+$10 core)
advance auto - $58
auto zone - $34 (+$15 core)

 I prefer AutoZone and go no where else!  I am lucky to have ONE in town 
that all are great knowledgeble people.  Plus when you get the AutoZone 
something or other card and log all your purchases, for every $100 you spend 
you get a $20 gift card, and that really pays off.

PLUS when I went to Dayton AMO Nationals, and most know the story of the 75 
Matador Wagon dying in Bowling Green and stranding me there, the first place 
I went to was AutoZone.  Seems that the Motorola in the Mat was not quite 
normal.  They searched and compared everything and had nothing available for 
a couple days.
They even took me over to the neighboring Auto something that I cannot 
really remember the name but they are always close by and look like 
AutoZone.  So they took me to the compeators to see if they had anything.  
Suggested a local motel for thi night and wouked wil me the next day.

New battery also after finding a local junk yard/parts place w/the 
altenator.  I had problems afterwards and another altenator at AMO 
Nationals, then the battery died and I took it to the local one and instead 
of waiting for 1 1/2 hours for a battery charge (as there were 2 a head of 
me) the replaced the battery and sent me on my way.

SOOO, AutoZone for me.  I also find their pricing less than most others and 
that customer service for me has been great!

Good Luck.

I still have 2 motorola altenators in the garage.  One from the parts place 
which I paid $45 for and the one from Kennedy, in the box (rough) NOS I paid 
$95 for.  We switched back to a Delco and when I got home I took them to the 
electrical shop and both alternators are worlking fine.  Putting out 60 65 
amps.  Make me an offer plues the shipping.            Go figure.
