Probably your alternator brushes are worn if the charge light stays on.
Unlike a starter motor, an alternator is worth reconditioning if you intend to keep the car for a while.
IF you dont want to spend the bucks, take it apart , and locate the brushes. If they are worn down , its easy to get replacements for less than $10 ,and put em in.

if you chosse to use another alternator off a Gem, they will all fit, except the earlier models use 12 mm mounting bolts on the bracket, whereas the later ones use 14 mm, so you need to enlarge, or sleeve the mounting holes.
