I wanted to replace my alternator today - took it to a FLAPS and the guy
pulled a rebuilt of of the shelf after checking out the numbers.  We both
thought it was the right one but upon close examination the B+ terminal
on mine as marked W on his. Its the small clip-on terminal.  The store
manager said that it won't work.  SO off to another store --- about 6
stores later they all have (W) marked on that terminal.  Can anyone shed
some light on this?  Has the industry changed its marking standards?
Also can I replace the alternator with one of a higher output (amps)
without replacing anything else?
