Im hoping for a definitive answer here.
1995 Buick Riviera 3.8 NOT S/c. Alternator plug has a red and a gray wire.
2005 Chevy Impala 3.8 NOT S/C alternator plug has a red and a orange wire.
I want to put the 105 Amp Alt from the Impala into the Rivi as Im doing a motor swap with the impala motor. The water pump housing is different and wont allow me the use of the old alternator and I have the motor installed.....
So I need to know if I can splice the old wiring into the newer alternator.
From what Ive found:
95 Rivi
Red= Generator
Gray= unknown
05 Impala
Red= Generator turn on signal
Orange= appears to be battery + voltage?
Yes I know the Rivi has a 140 Amp alt and this alts only 105 Amps. It will be fine or in worse case scenario I can order a high output alt.
