50A-55A standard, or 75A for a heavy-duty one (optional in 75-79 T2's).

While using a junkyard T4 alternator may be an economical idea, buying a new
one is not.  If you want a brand new one, I'd buy a Chevy alternator :-).
They are cheap and easy to find.  Either choice will require fabrication to
make it fit.  The only snafu you'll have to work out is which way the
cooling air goes.

Take care,
