A guy over on the bird board has a post about 96 amp alternators that are used on VW transporters. He said they are almost a direct replacement (except the wiring plug needs to be changed). He list a Carquest part number (14062) but my local Carquest say that isn’t a valid part number. All the ones he had listed were 55 or 75 amps.

I did some digging at places like AutoZone and Advance Auto to find that the Vanagans from the 80’s have 96amp alternators. Does anyone know if these are the same (physical) size as ours? It would be nice to have a 96 amp alt.

Has anyone done this or any other “update” on the alternator?

**and yes I know that you can get a 90 amp from one of the vendors. I’m not trying to take sales away form him, I was really looking at what options I have.

Thanks,
Mike
