This is the way to go. Delco units can be pretty iffy, unless this is a car
that you don't plan to drive much. Lots of the Delco alternators use really
cheap bearings, especially the rear "bearing", which in many cases is just
a bushing. I have had several go out after 30k miles. The third time it
happened I went to get a replacement and noticed that after 10+ years they
had not changed the design. I chose to get an aftermarket compatible unit.
