Alright man, well I gotta unpack all of my stuff out of my car but Waymart isn't too too far away, and if you PM me exact directions to where it is I can definitely come up today after I unpack, I'm assuming it's in a garage with adequate tools? I promise you it's not gonna be a very fun job, but I've switched out alternators before and it should be pretty straightforward, how's the belt on the alternator? If it's cracked at all or anything, go out and buy a new one along with a new battery. PM me with the directions and I'll tell you when I can head out (it'll be waaay before dark so don't worry about that, though I'll bring a drop light just in case). It's not a problem for me to come up so don't worry about being indebted to me, although I sometimes get a little frustrated working on engines I love it haha.

you might be surprised how easy it might go, when we did one the other weekend we started to twist the alternator out of the openning, didn't even have to disconnect the tierod end, so that we could get the remaining electrical connectors off and after that was done it near fell out of the car  , and it went back in fairly easily to boot

It's already in my driveway.
$70 to go 12 miles. It was the cheapest one I could get.
I was a nervous wreck leaving it on the highway lastnight.
I call my E0 Claire.
24 hour what?
I'm looking to buy a like-new condition SVT grill, and a shift knob that works with the reverse lever PM me with the details.
