Alternator Question
I need to get a new alternator for my car... But I don't have the money to go to the parts store to get a new or refurbished one. Are there and other vehicles that have the same alternator that I have in my car so I can go to the junkyard, and pick on up?

I have no idea what H-body Alternators will match up with your car. Personally, I wouldn't pull an alternator out of a junk car. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night(much less drive on the highway) wondering when the "junk" alternator will fail. Spend the hundred bucks(probably less) and get a rebuilt unit. Also, it is recommended that you replace the battery at this time as well.

P.*. If you really for some reason want to.. look for any cars with series I.. and most ( not all ) will have the same bolt pattern and placement for your alternator
