So how bad of an idea would a Duralast alternator be? |

Under $50 with a core returned....if the darn thing works it's awfully cost effective.

Good morning, I hope everybody had a good weekend. In the name of science I have ordered the one from Advanced Auto and will let you know how it looks because I have a couple engines out of the cars that I can probably test fire and check charging pretty easily.
The iffy one on handy is going to a local shop today (hopefully). |

It the stub is too long it arcs to the cover plate and you have fireworks. I use a local shop with 25 years of experience. He charges $95 to rebuild them. I have one on the shelf. If you change your mind I can drop off a core and get a quality rebuild for you. Bruce |
