I have purchased two alternators at the junk yard - because of supply and demand, they are dirt cheap.

Both my failures were almost exactly at 215K

They both were $30 and were marked with the mileage of the car they came out of - one had 110K miles, and lasted to 185K when I sold the car.

Get a 100 amp alternator from a 700 turbo. Built in regulator - I think it was a two wire hook up.

Check the brushes on yours, perhaps you can have it rebuilt with new bearings and brushes for short $$$.
