A quarter of a million miles if you treat her right
Disconnect the 1988 Century battery. Remove the alternator battery. Disconnect the alternator wiring, then unbolt the alternator. Bolt in the new alternator, then reverse the procedure to finish the installation.
the alternator is on the bottom right side of the motor and it is hard to get to without removing the engine but it can be done without removing the whole motor you take the belt off and detach the cables then there are 2 bolts that you take out then you pry it out and replace,
yes its much easier to change.make sure you jack engine before
