alternator questions -Reply

The 91 200q has a 115 amp alternator.
The 87 5ktq has a 90 amp unit.
I was told the 90 amp would fit, installation-wise.
The concern is charging capacity.
If you don't make lots of short trips with lots of accessories running,
you'll probably be all right. 
When mine went, it was winter in Iowa, and my "commute" was 1.2 miles
with heater running, heated seats, sometimes headlights, etc.
I got the 115 amp alt.  I found a Bosch rebuilt unit at Napa for $260.
