Mr Bill,
The Autozone store here in Lexington keep then in stock. The Advanced Auto store may not stock one,but they can have you one by the next day.
Mr Steve,
The auto stores do not install the alternator in their stores. They will switch the pulleys. They do that inside their store.The car owner has to remove and install the alternator. Lexington has an ordinance that says you can not work on your car in the street or in parking lots. We are an uppity town, and love our bluegrass, the horse farms with their white fences and their stone fences, and of course our fine Bourbon Whiskey.
