Shoehorn a 2.3l Alt from an 80 onto a 4kq?

[Brendan/Coolian]

Well, my interest in the whole thing was to keep the cost down.  And since 
I'm getting this thing for 75 bucks USD, new, with no core required...I 
figure it's a pretty good deal.

How is it a "converted 110 amp unit?
 From what I see in your email, all I need is a 110amp bracket for my 4kq, 
correct?

I'm sure your alternator is great, I just am on a limited budget
