Check the yellow pages. I found a place where I'm from that got me a brand new alternator that fit my car, rebuilt it so it would kick out more amperage and took my old alternator as a deposit so I saved a bit of cash.

By the way, I'm looking to install a second battery in my cars trunk. How did you go about installing yours? Is it like installing a cap? Positive to positive, negative grounded to the frame etc.?
