Alternator went out in my 92. Confirmed that it's only putting out 11.6v. I'm looking for someone who can install a replacement for me. This weekend is my wife and I's anniversary and it wouldn't be cool to spend a day figuring out how to extract and install an alternator. This is a new repair for me. Not the weekend to learn. I have the receipt to warranty the dead one (Autozone). I'm located near 7th St and 101 also I work at ASU Tempe campus and can bring it down that way. Any help would be appreciated.

Update...
First I want to thank those who offered their help. Timing just didn't work out. So I sucked it up and did it last night and finished this morning. I have never replaced an alternator before. After reading about other people's experiences on the main board, I was apprehensive to tackle this myself. But I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go. I think the hardest part of the ordeal was trying to make enough room to get it out. I had to disconnect the smog pump and push it out of the way in order to extract the alternator. Over all an hour and half to get it out and an hour to button it back up. Not bad for my first time, if I do say so myself.
