My car has been running fine, but all of a suddent it started to get dim, then the car stalled out. Now i think the starter is dead. Heres a video

And some times it just wont even turn over like that, it just clicks. And sometimes it will start after a few cranks. Thanks let me know what the problem could be.

either you have a bad alternator, or the wiring from your alternator to the battery plugs is corroded.

Indeed it is your altenator.KA Altenator will work with some modification to the mounting holes.

Well with a new battery you should be able to turn the car on with the ignition until the battery looses voltage since its not being charged by the alternator.
