    PLEASE HELP

    I have a 1988 Buick Regal Custom 2.8L V6.  Sometimes starts and sometimes not.  it starts sputtering and dies when I put any sort of load on it (headlights, heater, ect.)  I Replaced the battery and its not that.  the only thing I can think of is my alternator.  I went to take it off to go have it tested at a local auto electrical shop but I don't know what size the mounting bolts are, they must be in the 32nds or something.  All I am asking is if anyone knows an easy way of testing my alternator, and if not what and the hell size of wrench/socket do I need to get the damn thing out of there.  thanx everybody
