I'm 99.9% sure it's the alternator, because when the car is jumped it runs fine, but doesn't hold a charge for very long. Hopefully there's nothing else wrong with it.

Well, if the battery has been charged/discharged a few times, it might also be dead, and you'll have to change both (alt. and batt.). I have one of the new Exide Gel batteries in my '87 SS, and that thing is great. It's much like an Optima, but without the pricetag.
