Jim, thanks for confirming! But I already unraveled the harness tape, and
took apart the alternator to confirm the wiring setup. Good thing I did, as
the four wires going into the case were frayed, and close to shorting each
other out. The insulation was gone for 1/4 inch just outside the case! The
15/16 inch nut on the pulley is a bear to get off, took about 70 ft-lbs.
Now to clean the grimy rusty yucky case!
