Just checked with the parts guy here at work - the part numbers for the two alternators are different. I'm still going to try though.

On the SSEi the alternator has 2 ears to bolt the alt to the bracket.... The SE/SLE NA, has 3 ears with the bottom being the longest to help support the alternator..
AC Delco #'*
1995 SSEi 334-2445
97 SE 334-2457
95 SE 321-1093
You may be able to make the SSEi alt work, but I am not sure how strong the rear alt bracket will be without the support of the lower ear on the 97'* alt
Good Luck

Just tell him the truth. I prefer to buy a car from someone who'* willing to tell me what needs attention than someone who says the car needs nothing.

That sounds better to me. When buying a used car you're checking out the car & the seller. If the seller says 1 thing that sounds like BS I figure he would say anything to make a sale. I'd just tell him about the noise, when it happens & you think it may be the alt. Let him make an offer before lowering the price.
