Jeez Louise..... Are you kidding? Your first step should not be posting that kind of question on FTE. It's worthless as is the picture.

YOU have to do some hands-on investigation by using that tool between your ears.

What led you to believe it is the alternator?

You've posted a picture of what looks like your exhaust and bell housing ... not sure which you're trying to get. Noise when starting makes me think the latter ... I'd say at this point, you need to take it to a mechanic because you may be in over your head.
