 |
|
Searched and can't find an answer.
Is there a good way to identify if my 1981 924 NA has a 75A Bosch or 90A Paris-Rhone without pulling it out of the car first? Mine is shot and I need to replace it, but I don't know what to order from the local parts house.
Side note: The price difference is pretty significant too. 90A is nearly 3X more than the 75A.

| I believe the 90a was meant for the turbocharged models. So as long as your running a stock system without a lot of accessories you should be fine using the 75 amp Bosch. if not I'd check some other stores to find a better price for a 90a Bosch. |

Bosch piece is more common and should have a BOSCH plate on it.
Reman 90A unit for your car is AL115x, which will work fine. The only snag is that the PR pulley may not fit the Bosch unit.

Thanks y'all. Preshadit (as we say in the south)
Think I'll just go for the 90A and get the pulley with it.
