Alternate alternatos

[joon900]

so my alternator on my gts jus went out...i guess thats expected on a 25 year old car....so does any1 know if an alternator from another older corolla or different car would fit??

In the 80's and early 90's there were only two sizes (physical) of used
on just about all Corolla's, Corona's and Celica's. The mounting bracket
is the main difference. Minor differences are the location of the main
power lead, and pulley size. They all use the same round plug.

FWD versions can be made to fit with a bit of wire stretching, as the power
wire ends up underneath in RWD installations. May also require some
ingenuity with belt size and adjustment Go browse the junkyards.
