3 pin or 2 wire


Hi, I apologize if this is already posted but I could not find it. I am wanting to buy a new battery cable set from Hawks 3rd gen. My dilemma is I dont know if I have a 3 pin set up or 2 wire set up. I have a 91 rs 305L V8 5 speed. I not exactly sure where to look, I see there in a 4pin connector with 2 wires coming out of it that connects to the alternator and what I think is a ground on the back of it. Any help would be great, Thanks

Battery Up

If you have a dash voltmeter you have a 2 wire setup.

That is not a ground on the back, that goes to the battery.

That back nut is close to the valve cover, therefore make sure you disconnect the battery before unbolting that one.

Also, you are missing the rear alternator support bar.


Happy Racing !

Re: Battery Up

Thank you for that info, I didnt realize the alternator support bar was missing since when I got it it wasnt there either. I appreciate the help.
