I finally got around to doing this, and here's what I learned
First off the early kits sent out by PCM had the sexes on the pigtail crossed. They sent me a correct unit, 3 day so all was good.
Installing the new Alt in a 211 is pretty easy, back off the belt tensioner, two remove the existing Bat, GND, and 2 Pin connecter from the 65amp Alt, then remove two bolts and work the old ALT out. Install the adapter pigtail on the new 100amp version, bout it up,(pulley was already installed) and reinstall the Accessory belt. Then add the NEW Bat cable to the new ALT, and run it to the 60amp breaker under the PCM shrowd. Remove the old BAT cable. I left the old GND wire in place, and Added the new one, from the ALT to the terminal post on the engine block. The fuseble link between the Alt and the Starter (this is where the actuall battery cable connects with the Alt charging wire) is rated at 100amps, so no change needed there.
Fired up the 211, and immediately saw 14.1v on the guage even at Idle(previous ALT was about 13.0) , then the test. I turned on the blower, heater , and all three ballast pumps. No "LOW Voltage" alarm.
EXCELLENT!
