everyone that tries to order me an alternator for my 1994 volvo 940 orders the wrong one. i have a denso alternator 100211-8632 14v 100 amp on mine with the main wire, a clip on red wire and then a blue wire. all the other ones they order dont have the post to bolt the blue wire. do i need to use the blue wire?

I would prefer the Bosch alternator that everyone keeps ordering for you. Remove one of the nuts that holds the case together and attach the blue ground wire, replace the nut. I have this type alternator on my 1988 Volvo 760 Turbo Wagon. It's a three wire (including the blue ground wire) alternator, not rocket science.

any idea what size the nut is that is on the pulley

when you say nut that hold the case together do you mean the plastic shroud or the nuts and bolts that pin the two sections of the alternator together?

What holds the two halves of the case together.
