I think he's saying the nearest 151 to yours in his database was a unit built approximately 89 units before yours.
And that although his 151 is very near yours in terms of serial # (vin), it's registration # is quite far off.
So when he says "not sure how definite your #s are" I'd assume he...

The all knowing Carnac may have the envelope containing some info about your vehicle.
Make sure to read the first post carefully and format your request in the preferred style.
I just spent a few minutes looking and didn't find any definitive threads...................
There's this one: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?29433-M151-Identification
But it isn't really complete
Some articles from around the web:

Ok, looking at Grits' previous posts, I am going to guess he has an M151. So I am going to move this thread over to the 151 section and see if I can't find some thread relevant to the differences between A1, A2, etc.
The website help forum is for stuff like "I can't get pictures to upload" and stuff like that.
Tell us what vehicle you have and I'll find the right forum and move the thread for you and maybe even find some good links for you. Deuce, 151, etc.?

Ok, all joking aside now..........
Isn't the activation of the charging circuit what creates the load? I.e master power switch is off, belt is simply turning the reciprocating mass of the alternator. Switch on, alternator "sees" battery voltage and attempts to charge, alternator sees load...
This is gonna' sound smart alecky, but if the belts have been slipping, the batteries may not be fully charged, which means the alternator is under a heavier load trying to recharge them. :)
Don't know.
Did you, before swapping:
A. Put a multimeter on it and check the output
B. Check the...
This is gonna' sound smart alecky, but tight enough for it not to squeal and loose enough not to burn up alternator bearings.
Also, those belts are designed to be a matched pair, meaning both belts cut from the same piece. So they are both identical to one another. Ask your parts house for a...
Bingo!
I've always done it by feel (i.e. how tight to make the belt) but there is actually a tool to measure belt tension. Of course, you'd have to know what the spec is for the tension for this to help...
You have a source for US made, high quality units?
And what about the air shift switch under the dash? It uses the one piece molded connector I am trying to stay with. The air operated MWO switch has 2 individual packards.
