Need new alternator (1992 with 1400k)

[Andy69]

The one that came off is a Magneti Marelli 54022458 A127-55.  I’ve located a few that might work but if anyone has already done the leg work and has a source or a part number I’d sure appreciate it.

Check for an alternator repair shop.

Try looking for a 55A Lucas A127 and replacements for the A127 that have the same mounting and pulley as yours.

 

You also could use it as an opportunity to put a modern smaller/lighter denso style one on it  but you'd have to work out mounting.

The pulley is swappable I assume?  Mine has a 4 groove flat and the one I’ve found that looks like it will  work is a V groove.  I’ve had to do that before with other cars and it was a straightforward swap, just needed an impact to get the nut off.
