I am contemplating this issue myself. No, not a Probe, but a Merkur

I just had the alternator for my MGC/GT rebuilt and that totaled $60 + tax.
I could do a lot of MG work for that $750. Guess we may get a little cold
in the Scorp this winter.... And it took all of 15 minutes to pull the
alternator out and replace it.
