As ALL of you are aware, we as a group put tons and tons of money into our passions.  So I will attempt to keep that from jading my view.

I ordered a new alternator from Datsun Don, it came in, but unfortunately, I was in Afghanistan.  Yes, the alternator is in the UNOPENED box in the trunk.  Never got around to doing it.
