1. What is the process for finding a 120 amp unit? Perhaps by entering one's vehicle's specifications, a 120 amp unit is excluded since it wasn't considered within specifications by M-B?
2. Are the mounts and belt configuration for the 120 amp unit identical to the lower amperage specified unit?

I have seen 80 and 100 amp Alternators for my 84 300D on eBay That use the stock electrical connector.
There is even some 100amp ones listed as new. The new ones I suspect are made in China.
Note many years back I bought a New Chinese made Alternator for my Van and it has been charging fine. That must have been 10 years ago.
