Re: which alternator

well i think halfway through 94 they changed the alternators then there was a change in 97 or 98. im not for sure.

i guess it depends on the manufacture date on your car. i think the lower amperage one is the 1st design, then the higher was the 2nd design.

oh yeah and about the tensioner, if it feels like it has a good spring retension when you pull back on it, then its fine. if it feels a bit weak or doesnt fully spring back quick, then its bad. feeling the belt for deflection doesnt always work, because the belt could be stretched.
