I also have installed a 110a Bosch alt. out of a SAAB 9000 ($25), and it bolts right in. You need to install new electrical connectors on the alternator, but pretty strait-forward.

(I also can highly recommend Greazzer and his wonderously smooth Monark nozzles; I have my old set of stock nozzles here if anyone needs them to send in as cores (Price of Shipping). Just pass 'em on, it makes for less down-time.)


I have about 4.5k on the swap so far, and lots of little hiccups, but nothing major.


30-50% increase in fuel efficiency (11.9mpg->16-18mpg @ 72mph); no real power gain.

(It's almost like a comfy uni-mog sedan with no portal axles, or an workin' man's Geland.)
