I really appreciate al the advice. But I still need more if anyone has any ideas.

The alternator is a bolt on and the seller said it was for a 2.6 four banger.

Well it bolts on beautifully. Click on the Cardomain link in my signature, on page two are two photos of it on the motor before installation. And with my pully on the front, the belts are perfect. I have it installed in the Montero now and I really don't want to take it out and dismantle it, if I can possibly avoid it.

But the wire plug config is definitely different.

I think the best suggestion has been to go dig thru the wrecking yards. Maybe a local auto electric re-builder can help me. I know there is one in my neighborhood.

As far as the other suggestions go, if I knew what to look for, I could stick my meter onit. (I do have a Fluke)

It is a beautiful alternator, I hope I will be able to use it.

Thanks guys, and keep the ideas coming in, I need all the help I can get on this one.
