So after reading your message and out of curiosity, I checked the major auto parts retailers online for an alternator for my 1983 300D that would put out 120 amps. The results for range of output were 55 amps to 70 amps. So, my two questions:
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?
