14062 = 1976 Porsche 912E, OE 0 120 450 001, 70 Amp, Diameter is 138 mm, CW rotation...clocking appears about the same, air cooling is built into back and does not use the plate. Plug is similar to the one on the relay board of a 914. Nose casting looks slightly different. Don't know if it would line up or not.
Also used on the 1976 - 1979 Type II Vanagon w/ OE 021 903 023E
Stock 914 is 125 mm diameter, CW rotation.
Mounting bolts are the same on both styles.
For Aaron:
14969 = '92 - '96 Vanagon , 65 Amp, (Optional 14471 w/ AC, 90 Amp), Diameter 125 mm, wierd mounting face.
13159 = '83 - '80 Vanagon optional 65 Amp (Optional 13122, 90 Amp), Diameter 125 mm, different mounting bolt sizes, triangular face plate mounting.
Come on, Slits! A T2 is NOT a Vanagon. A T2 is a Bus, and a Vanagon is a Vanagon. The air cooled Vanagon has a different shroud, mounting the alternator on the top, rather than the bottom. Different design. 82 Vanagon is air cooled, and does NOT take an alternator even vaguely resembling the 83.5 through 91 water cooled vanagon alternator. 92-96 is a Eurovan, and takes yet a different alternator. Bigger, by far. The same alternator that fits the 75-79 bus also fits the 912E. Same configuration, same fit, and the SAME cooling design ..... the rubber boot on the back. No fan.
Anyone looking for parts for their 914, Bus, or Vanagon at Carquest is at the mercy of their counterpersons, their catalog, and their desire to see you walk out of the store with SOMETHING. If you rely on their catalog, it's a FACT that you will be misled and confused, not to mention WRONG. Look at the starter fiasco. Friends don't let friends shop at Carquest. The Cap'n
