This is based on how the auto-electric shop labeled my alternator. If anyone should know, they should. Rebuilding alternators and starters is the lion's share of their business. Looking at the rear of the alternator, the pins look like this... |_| The left vertical pin is marked "L", which is for the idiot light, I'm not sure if it would go throuh the light to +12v, or to ground. You would have to check on that. The bottom one has a zero with a diagonal line through it, which I take to mean that it isn't used, The right vertical pin is marked "Ign". I believe this is to be a switched 12v (I didn't tell him it was for an a/c). There is a large stud that goes to the battery. Hope this helps. Mark S.
