I tried the nissan alternator, its not exactly a bolt in procedure. Be prepared for some cutting.
I second Luis's opinion on getting the alternator rebuilt. I never charge more than $125 to rebuild an alternator. Just remove it yourself and take it to an alternator/starter repair shop...or take it to a regular shop with an older owner.

A good elec. auto shop will rebuild your alternator for much less than any other alternative. This is what mechanics used to do, fix whatever broke.
I have a nissan alternator, but I needed a smaller alternator to clear my turbo and exhaust downpipe. You need to purchase a proper kit, and wire it up properly.

There are kits available. You have to make sure that the belt lines up PERFECTLY with the new alternator.

the quest alternator was easy. I just had to grind down the tabs on the alternator itself to get it to fit. Nothing else had to be modified. if you dont put a quest alternator in your car your a idiot and if you need a kit to do it then your still a idiot.

The issue we had was that the pulley's didn't line up perfectly. There was some side rubbing because of the slight offset. It would have worked fine, but I wanted it perfect. First time I've been called an idiot, so thanks.
