I found a 1989 Saab 9000Turbo in the yard today, does that have the right alternator? I will go back for it tomorrow if it does.... It is indeed buried in there....I didn't have a 19mm socket with me to get the front wheel off, otherwise I could have gone after it. Only MB in the yard was a 1977 240d that was severely rusted and looked like it had sat in a field for ages. 112k on the odometer! (am guessing it stopped working at some point) This thing had the worst rust I had ever seen, the whole underbody was nearly rotted out, the fenders were falling off, wheel wells were gone....if I go back I'll get some pics. motor looked good still, had series glow plugs on it, oil cap intact, wet with oil inside, turned it over with the fan and everything moved smoothly and I could feel the strong compression strokes....might be a good motor. Interior was dead, racoons had lived (and pooped) in it for a long time it seems. Gross. I got a door check off it for $1

Had a nice rear left light lens.....manual everything, including climate control....

Anyways, does anyone know if an 89 9000turbo has the 115A or 80A alternator? I looked on ********az and it says that from 1988 onward they used the 115A.....whatever, I have time tomorrow, I'll go back and see if I can get it off.
