"How important is it to use genuine Volvo parts on a Volvo engine? In my case, the Volvo alternator specific to my engine is $800 and a marine grade Delco universal 68amp alternator from West Marine is $162. Assuming that it fits on the engine physically, is there any reason why I should not use the less expensive Delco alternator?

Any feedback appreciated!"
 
"You do not specify Volvo type

"You do not specify Volvo type/year etc, but in general there should be no problem providing You get the same output connectors as on the original one. Delco has a cross reference list which tells You which type replaces Your alternator, check with that one."
