One-wire HO alternator & B230FT

[fxdl]

Hey all ,

Time for a new alternator. I'm considering a high-output one-wire GM alternator for my '85 B230FT, but want to confirm that it won't do something unpleasant to my Bosch LH ECU or other parts.

All advice appreciated. TIA.

the one wire may cause the battery light to stay on.. i'm currently fitting a 105 amp 4 wire alternator on my '81 240t

A 100amp from an early 90s 700 series (or maybe 900 series) should be a direct fit. It works fine on my '87 B230F 240.

the chevy alternator is free-er spinning.. but the later model denso alternator might be just as free-er spinning.. the bosch seems to take alot to turn compared to the chevy..
