The standard alternator is a 55 AMP in my 1980 242. I believe later 240's had a 70 AMP. I pulled a 100 AMP Bosch unit from a 740 turbo and it was a pretty easy drop in to the 1980. Had to do some minor but fairly obvious and easy modifications to the big red power wire to conect it to the back of the alternator. The 100 AMP unit is larger, and is a tighter fit than the oriingal 55 AMP, but it does fit.
