Alternator wiring Empty
PostSubject: Alternator wiring   Alternator wiring EmptySat Nov 29, 2008 11:46 pm

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.

Well I ended up figuring this out. That whole water outlet is modular...

So I switched them out.
