Hey guys, I've got a '79 242 and I'm looking to upgrade from the stock 55 amp alternator to maybe 80-85 amp if possible. Since I have a B21, what are my options for upgrades? Can I use an 85 amp unit from a 740? I'm looking for something that will be a direct fit with no modifications needed...I like the idea of using a chevy alternator since they are so cheap, but I don't like the idea of chopping things up just to make them fit where they don't belong. I'm not that adventurous.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
