The danger is how the alt from our donor car regulates. You Bosch Alt uses an excite current from the dash light. Besides the fit and alignment you need to worry about that. You can get a 100 watt remanufactured Alt for $100 and it bolts right in and works just fine.

You may just have a bad set of brushes and those are cheap and easy. You just remove the Negative Lead of the battery and remove the two screws. You ease the old one out and ease the new one in. You fire the car back up and check the voltage. You will know really fast if that was the problem.

Good luck and keep the lights on,

Paul
