AL129X Alternator question

I was wondering if this is the AL129X. it looks similar from the back as in pictures i have seen, and behind the pully it looks the same. the thing that is throwing me off is the red band in the middle. it came off a saab of the correct time period and model.

Thanks in advance

SAAB's came with a 80 amp model and the 129X model. One has a red band- that one is the 80 amp if I remember correctly.

it is the AL124X i found it on a different site. an 80amp model. which is a 45% increase over the 55amp model. i am not installing a huge sound system or anything just want a bit more available power for things like a plug in cooler or an mp3 player or both.

now i think i have to cut and splice to get this in the car. do people want me to do a DIY step by step?
