I picked up a 1988 m997 ambulance and it is missing the generator. Can’t figure which one I need. Can anyone help. Thank you.

Going by memory, ambulance had 100 amp generator, old style with piggyback regulator. Those are a bit hard to find. You can put a 60 amp in or go upgrade with the 200 amp units available now.

I think even early M997s had a 200 A generator, but the old one with the piggyback regulator, and only 24 volts voltage. But that´s also from memory..... 
However, about a year ago, I was at the same point, having to find the correct alternator, and a local dealer (Studentdriver) had both the early single-voltage alternator, and the newer 12/24 V one. I did a bit of research at that time what was genuine, and came up with the 200 A single-voltage one.

Unless you intend to run the resusitation pack (which is typically removed) the 60 alternator will do just fine. I've run one in my 996 for almost 20 years and have all the radio stuff installed.

That´s true for sure.
By the way: I never found pics or anything about the very resucitators used on an M997. Does anybody have more information about them ? Maybe NSNs or a manufacturer or type ? Would be more useless ballast, but I like genuine, but useless stuff.....

Thank you. Just wasn’t for sure if I could use the 60 amp. I took the ambulance body off.
