If any of you already read my other post today, you probably know why I'm typing this one right now.
I want to get a new alternator for my 1989 300ce. Here is some information on my alternator:
Engine ----Model-----Year --------Application ------ Amp kW/HP --- Sys Mf ----Plug Conf. ---- Reman Alt.
3.0l-L6 --- 300CE --- 89-88 ------ Bosch 70A ------- 70------------ BO -------- B15 ---------- AL65X --------(*108)
BO=BOSCH
*108 -BOSCH/VALEO Notice of Interchangeability
This alterantor came as original equipment in both Bosch and Valeo versions. The two types of units are different in physical appearance, but are totally interchangeable in both fitment and appearance.

Here are the highest output alternators Mercedes makes that I was able to find. All 150A :

Cross Reference
Bosch =
Mercedes
AL0766X = 0-123-520-006
AL0785X = 0-123-520-012
AL0768X = 0-123-520-017
Which one of these will fit?
What modifications might I have to do to the pulley or plug or anything else?
Are the brackets from my alternator the same size as the 150A versions?
