Listed for '85 models, but I don't see any difference in the case. Funny how the old one on the Camaro has never had an issue. What's the cheapest alternative in a Powermaster Tony?
That's for a serpentine belt, one of those set ups with several things running off the crank pulley. I don't know if it will work correctly with the simple set up you have now.

What happened to your alternator sounds just like what happened to mine. It was a one wire that charged at idle and then just quit, except mine continued to put out a high voltage of around 44. I popped a rubber plug off the top of mine to expose two terminal connections and jumped the drivers side one to the BAT terminal on the alternator. It allowed the output voltage of the spinning alternator to turn the charging circuit on. It outputs 13 some volts at idle now.

Once I realized my one wire could be set up as a three wire, I used post 4 in this thread for the wiring:

I have no ignition key, just a lever for my battery cutoff in the trunk so I skipped the wire to switched ignition part. No issue with run on.
