    which ever one they decided to install at the time the cars was built, the m50 motor has had everything from 80 amp to 140 amp units with 4 or 5 different ones, valeo sucks!!! and the older style bosch (big and square) seem to have crappy bearings the later bosch are the good ones
    all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
