Ed,
The connector on the harness is a 3-terminal connector and the alternator
also
has 3 terminals. The problem is that the configuration of the harness connector
doesn't match the configuration of the alternator pins. I'm about to go out and
remove the alternator so that I can determine its model number. Thanks for the
quick reponse.
