For one thing, it's not an AQ series engine, and it's not from 85. The 570A first came out in 89 and were used through 93.

The OEM part number is 873770 and lists for over $600. There are much less expensive aftermarket alternators that will work perfectly, for a lot less money. Here is one, same manufacturer, just not through Volvo. http://www.amazon.com/Alternator-Inboard-Sterndrive-3803260-3-872235-7/dp/B005AXSCZM

You have to make sure the mountings are the same, not just the words universal alternator on it. If the mountings are off the pulleys and belts won't line up.
Also, the 105 A alternator requires heavier wire. The OEM wiring is setup for only 60A/
