alternator ID

[Louis-Alain Richard]

14799 is indeed the 90A unit. Comes with the pulley installed.

14912 is the 110A unit, no pulley.

Couple of pics of each, and indeed 5 3/8 is 90A, 6in is 110A. But otherwise,
mounting holes are the same.

BTW, 14799 and such are Lester numbers, while Bosch are more like this :
AL-something-x (AL69x, AL115x, AL1260x). Bosch reman units are $$$ usually.
And good quality.

Only part numbers is the sticker,  Bosch 14799, which on any site that uses
that number it is a 90A alternator.
Maybe I'm using up too much time on this, but does anyone have an alternator
with a case that is 6" and not 5 3/8" ?

Find a shop that use that catalogue :
http://www.lestercatalog.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=PIC-208 or one
similar. There is telltale to identify almost any alternator on the planet.

Or do you have any part numbers that we can work ? Google is a very powerful
tool when comes to identify something...

What's the difference between the 90 amp alternator and the 110 amp?  Yea, I
know 20,  but how would one tell the difference in them sitting side by
side?
Not asking about the different alternator on an '87 5k as compared to '90
200.
I have two side by side, look the same.
