My car has the Japanese Alternator in it, but I can't find one a the wreckers, will the Canadian Alternator work? it looks the same, just the one terminal is not in the same location?

Thanks

If it was me I'll put the alternator on and check the output voltages and go from there. No output or overvoltage I will hook up the wire in that terminal-Just my opinion-I've looked for your charging system wiring diagram in the MIt1 couldn't come up with it-sorry
