How to wire CS series 4 pin alt for TPI conversion
Hi guys, I have a 77 camaro with a 69 fuelie headed 327 that I am 95% done with a MAF TPI conversion on. One of the last problems I have is the 105 amp 1986+ F body alternator I used (yes I had to make an adapter to fit the stock 69 alt brackets). I need a diagram or explanation of what each wire on the many pinned connector does (I think it has 4 pins?) on the 86+ style alt. I used a Painless TPI retrofit harness for my conversion, but the harness doesn't involve the alternator. The old alt. I took off the carb'd 327 setup had an internally regulated alternator on it with a 2 pin plug (I think the fat red wire was returning battery current after passing through the dash, and the skinny black wire provided a ground for a dash warning light) and then the bat + power post wire.

I found my answer online (it turns out I have the CS130 series 105 amp alt w/ 4 pin plug, and there was a diagram available for the pinout). This post can be deleted (the delete function won't work for me)
