CRAP! This Ebay auction calls it the "late model" (maybe their version is different? its $50 more than I paid)... should I call and cancel my order?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Powermaster-...2e76e0&vxp=mtr

Whats exactly the difference or where am I going to have installation issues? Powermaster, Summit, and this Ebay seller all say its compatible with the 90' ZR-1 though.

I don't have a garage to take off the OEM one and have it rebuilt, I need a new unit. The one Jerry's Gasket sells is only 124 amp for around $80 less than the PowerMaster 200 amp one, and its rebuilt ---
Use this 360* view and rotate it until you see the model # on the housing. I don't see any reason for concern. There's way to much conjecture over early and late, very early 90's had one alternator later ones had another (that's early vs. late), the service alternator became "one" and then all through production they remained the same.

Stop the view several times and inspect the build. I see no obvious issues!

-=JEFF=- and I appear to have hit the button at the same time and the CS144 he's posted images of can't be used when discussing early and late regarding the LT5 alternator. I believe the only difference in the early and late LT5 alternator is the rectifier bridge. I believe the balance of the builds were identical.
