I picked up an alternator today at a Pick & Pull yard out of a 1992 Saab 900 (non-S and non-turbo). All the bolts and belts were loose already, but the one big bolt ran into the oil filter housing. I easily pulled three bolts and then it was mine. I thought it was a AL129, but it turns out it is just 80 Amp. I took by AdvanceAuto parts on the way home and tested it. It is only putting out about 12.5, just below the minimum green zone of 13 on their tester. Might be as easy as a voltage regulator. It only cost me $15 plus a $5 core. It should bolt right into the 85 300SD. I looks like it is also a remanufactured unit. I'll stick it in the garage and mess with it later.
