Will a 1984 alternator work in 1981 aircooled?

Yes and no.... Embarassed

The air cooled has the fan that pumps air thru the air boxes, PLUS the connection is that plastic push on type

the water cooled, or at least the ones on my 83, 84, 85 and 88, have a one bolt connection which leads directly to the starter

it is possible I am sure, that you could adapt the connection, but, the air cooled does have unique bolt-mounting pattern

my diesels.... d'oh!
