89 240 seems like timing belt is shot 200 1989

"It ran jumpy and jerky and ultimately died."
Add gas. Often the hose attached to the in-tank pump deteriorates preventing the proper intake of gas below that level.

The car should run with the AMM disconnected. (Disconnect and reconnect with keys out of ignition.)

"He said if the timing belt was shot, the car wouldn;t engine would n't crank at all."
With the timing belt gone the engine will crank (too) easily because the cam and idler shafts aren't being turned. (Cams and rotor not moving.)

"I need to find out if my car requires a 80 or 100 amp alternator"
Probably came with an 80. Mine came with a 55. But now with a 100 from a 740.
