Subject:      alternators-Bosch or otherwise?

the alternator in my 79 is about to die. I have called around to get price quotes on rebuilt ones. Pep Boys has one with a lifetime guarantee for $62. It is not Bosch, though. Another place has a Bosch one for $131 plus $30 core charge. I then called to get a quote on a used one from a VW mechanic. I told him about the Pep Boys product and what it cost, and he basically screamed saying "They just keep breaking and cause harm to the fuel injection system."

Anybody have experience with the off brand alternators with a lifetime warranty?

Thanks, Paul
