No cheaper alternatives for an alt? Wreckers, Craigslist, etc? $100 alt on a $500 (or however much you paid for it) car is quite a punch in the face. Maybe you're in the right position to go alternator-less, if you only have short trips and can charge a deep cycle battery every day...

Don't forget to have your alt bench tested before you trade it in...

Good luck with your project!
