Thanks for all the help. Of course, I don't have the plug from the
original harness nor is my alternator marked, but I finally tracked down
an excellent reference on the net. Check out page 5 which has a very
clear picture of the terminals, although the description appears to be a
little different for some reason. I have been able to re-confirm the
picture on two other sites, so I'm pretty confident that it's correct.
Here's the link:
