You can get online pricing at:

you can also go to mr. alternator.com, too. i got my high output on there. but the best bet is to probably have it rebuilt. its cheap, and you can pump up the amperage a whole lot, too.\'96 <b>Quasar Blue</b> Firebird A4<br /><a href=\"http://jamiethekiller@comcast.net\" target=\"_blank\"><i>jamiethekiller@comcast.net</i></a><br /><a href=\"http://www.woodlandrock.com\" target=\"_blank\">my band: woodland</a>Comment

I bought a new one installed from Pep Boys just recently. WAAAAAAAAYYY less than dealership prices. The Pontiac place wanted $300+, the Chevy wanted $400+!!!!

Bought mine from NAPA a year ago. They have new, not rebuilt like everyone else. The case is remanufactured, but all internal parts are brand new. It was $140 with a lifetime warranty. It's the last one you'll ever buy. If it ever brakes, you get a new one free [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] .Moroso CAI<br />Flowmaster 40 DeltaComment

Put a LS1 alternator in there... I promise it will be worth 10hp. [img]smile.gif[/img] j/k
Just get one for autozone or Napa. Real easy to swap in/out. You know where all the tools are. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
