Sounds to me like the battery may be on it's way out. Power is drawn from
the battery, alternator just keeps it charged. So if the lights dim,
obviously the battery isn't putting out enough.
A 136amp alternator is a direct swap though Just need to make sure your
ends are right on the wiring. I'm using the newer style on my 98, just had
to change one end. ;)

P.S. I got a replacement dipstick for you... sorry I broke yours. :p
