Join NCRS. They publish a magazine full of ads by people that do this stuff.

I used Ken Bruno to restore my alternator and he did a fantastic job with it.

He does starters too.

There are probably shops in your local area that can rebuild your alternator/starter; if you want a top level, NCRS restoration (date-coded diodes, etc.) then the Driveline is a good source.

Bill Mock is THE water pump guy -- and charges accordingly. This is one spot you have to be careful - some of the rebuild kits have ill-fitting parts and tin foil impellers - you want first class work on this part...
