Hi:

I checked wiring for you vehicle and an 88. Listen, there are different alts for that vehicle. The one you have may have a different output level than you need. If it does, it could damage different components. I recommend that you purchase the correct alt for your car, or have it confirmed that the one you have is correct.

NOTE: Just because it fits doesn't mean it is correct.
