Late model stuff... looks like mid-90's gm.

btw... dust cover missing on back of bearing is not good... moisture gets in there and then you'll have a squeeling rusty bearing.

Late model Delco,  could be computer controlled which uses a 5 volt signal from the computer. Tricky to get to work stand alone.

Just went and looked at mine,  it's a CS-130, you need the Breeze plug to go to the power post making it a one wire, use the "sense" wire.

Looking for the instruction sheet.

This from a '90's efi set up.

So the power one (red) will go to the one with power,  the white one goes to the exciter.

Should work. Do you have an alternator light in the dash?

The gauge, if factory,  is an ammeter. There should be a light also. Maybe not.

You will either need to install a light or a resistor. On the white wire.

I have a 1972 K5 Blazer and using the same alternator with a serpentine set up.

How close are you to firing it up?
