Mine was just a straight exchange, no difference regards fitting or pulley diameter. The only other observation is that post 86 vans have a higher 'exciter' current than earlier vans but that should not make any difference.

Just replace the brushes/regulator. Cheap and easy fix. Why buy a new alternator?
