I just bought the bracket for alternator conversion on my 1966 122 amazon. Without sizing it all up does anyone know offhand if I can use the extra GM Delco-Remy 37 amp alternator from my 64 Corvair? Or do I need to get the Bosch or something specific for the Volvo? - Thanks

      I found, in my own research, that 60 amps is probably what you want for normal use. 37 may be disappointing especialy if you want to use halogen headlights say. There are also 100 amp alternators but those are for systems that require a lot of output. Delco Remy is a better alternative tahn a Bosch in my opinion. Easy to get and easy to get parts for and easy to repair.
