If you plan to fix things up and try to extract the max from the sale then put the better alternator in and up your sale price for the cost of repair and a few hundred extra, or whatever you think you can get. The smaller alt. will provide plenty of power to operate the car as it sits now.
Life gets busy, good luck to you with family and your sale.

Thank you so much my friend. A chunk of the actual air box under the hood was missing when I bought the car. Definitely no air conditioning or heat for that manner. But it’s cool. I need to put as little money as I can at the moment. When I bought the car I respected the fact that one owner took excellent care of it and loved it till he passed in his mid 80s. I saw that parked just sitting so I made an offer, it was excepted. I towed it home. Replaced the fuel pump, had the fuel tank cleaned, replaced the injector, blew this air/seafoam mixture I do through the fuel lines, new filters and fluids all around, complesston and leakdown all nownal so I did a tune up. And so far so good. But I respect how amazing nice he kept his interior. I wish there was a way to show you guys this amazing interior. I own a 87 Buick WE4 turbo regal Grabd National completely blackout model (that I had since new. My mom actually lent me the cash to buy it on my birthday In February of 1987 it was my very first car. despite growing up in nyc with the snow and salt I managed to take decent care of my WE4 even to this day I only take it out on weekends and special occasions and my WE4 interior doesn’t even come close to the interior that this Fiero has. All I need to make this car perfect Is to borrow a timing light gun. And figure out the correct way to adjust my TPS and IAC. And will need new tires in the near future. I was actually going to list it on here (I’m an honest retired nyc firefighter just trying to hang on to the my house and 2 cars) my wife’s car (the family car) ,and definitely my 87 Buick WE4 Grand National (because my mom was the only person who would help me buy that car and on 6/4/97 she passed unexpectedly at age 56 from a heart attack. Growing up I was a very disrespectful and abusive adolescent) I already sold my 2014 GSXR 1000 and my 2014 BMW S1000rr Motorcycles which I took a beating on both of those deals I definitely took the Loss. But I will live in my WE4 before I ever sell that. Omg I’m sorry. I’m so stressed that I’m getting off topic. My wife refuses to go back to work to a very good job as a public fixed route bus operator for Volusia county (she’s on FMLA emergency so she won’t loose her job but no money is coming in the house). Honestly how am I supposed to pay all these bills with just my pension income? I apologize again this $hit is all that’s been on my mind. And the hospital where she was transferred to to recover and rehabilitation is 21 miles away from our house. And to add insult to injury my 26 year old brother in law is mentally challenged snd autistic and will only trust my wife and mother in law. So every night my wife has to stay over there with him because he can’t be left alone I was called an “insensitive prick” when I suggested to temporarily place him in a home for the mentally challenged where they take field trips, play games, they even put some of these patients to work making things and actually pay them but the mere thought of bringing that idea to the table is an instant fight with my wife. So that’s why I need to get some money for the Fiero plus I’ve been selling a lot of my DJ equipment from when I had a side business in the 90s abs 2000s. But seriously guys and ladies I’m sorry to Jump topic. I’ve been bottled up with absolutely nobody to vent my frustrations too. I don’t know anyone down here. Anyway back to the car.
If I decide to list it here I would literally disclose everything I know about the car. and would disclose everything wrong with it. Including using a 78 amp alternator. But I’m sure nobody’s looking to make a trip to Daytona for a car lol.
Anyway thank you guys for your help. And thanks for reading. My stressful situation.
