Headlights "dim" "blink" etc often = have Ground & other Wiring Problems.

88 V6 already use CS130 alt that is available 105 peak amps from GM & most parts stores since.
Dead Alt's often cause by crappy wires too. Or replace w/ parts from Ebay, Amazon etc that suck. Buy a good one from AZ or related that track warranty by phone # so when lose receipt still have the warranty.
⚠️ More amps beyond 105 from CS130 often mean some vendor have "tricks" added to the alt & many times won't fit in given space. Even "Iceberg" cases w/ just added fins on the back often won't fit many cars not just Fiero.
Since is a V6, check for Exhaust leaks that make the bay hotter or worse blow on the alt.
Also this "body kit" may have reduce air flow thru the bay making heat problems.
Factory bodies & the vents pull heat out of the bay while driving. see

Many Body Mod's/kits cause problem w/ air flow in the bay & more.
