I have a regular one, got it at Schuck's. Super easy install. 3/8" drive socket wrench fits into the belt tensioner, CCW to release tension on the belt, slip the belt off the alternator. I used a long bolt and a bunch of sockets to push the contacts in far enough that I could get the alternator out. That's the hardest part. Rubber boot over the wire that goes to the battery, and a single wiring harness. That's it. For info, mine went at 120K miles. How many miles do you have?

I just went and got something cheap to put in her for now. under 100 bucks for everything. So, I'll prolly get a ** in the future when moneys right. I only had about 150 bucks to spare, so hopefully this alt will last me a few months. which im sure it will, lol
