I agree with Irishjoker. I got mine (85 amp) from Advance Auto and have had zero problems. Just my 2 cents . Dave

Here is an update:
Palladium Alternators are actually made by: Delco Remy,
AC-Delco alternators are actually (as of 1994 - Delco Remy) Delco Remy still supplies Alternators to GM. So go ahead and buy the Palladium which is just a brand name for Delco Remy International Corp.

I don't know why it is so hard for aftermarket parts companies to get you a part that actually fits exactly the way the original did, but apparently it's not as simple as it seems. I got the new alternator, and went to install it. Got the old one off (Wow that lower bolt is a PITA!!). Everything is going swimmingly... THEN I go to drop in the new alternator and I see that EVERYTHING is reversed. The terminals are on the wrong ends, and on top of that, the mounting flanges are wrong. The bottom one fits okay in the bracket, but the other one sits on the wrong side of the upper bracket, and on top of that, the bolt hole is too small. ad
I contacted Mid America 3 separate times to make sure this was going to fit. They better take it back with a full refund. There are scuffmarks on it now, but they'll have to deal. What's even worse is that I see that have the original rebuilt now in stock.
Anyways while driving through town the other day I saw an alternator shop, so I'm going to swing by tomorrow and see if they can rebuild my old one.
I feel better now, thanks for listening.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease, SIXFOOTER. The charger is a Black & Decker "Simple Start".
I should have also mentioned that the voltmeter was only reading 9-10 volts with the key in accessory mode. I believe it is the battery, but just wanted some outside input. I'll pick up a new battery tomorrow. Thanks again.
