I'd have to look on my car, but I think I just had to jumper 2 pins in the connector of the voltage regulator to make the newer alternator work. I run a FC alternator on my Rx-4. I can also check what wire is for the tach. I think it's black with either an orange or green tracer. Can't remember off hand right now.

Congrats !!!
Wow $300. You stole it. Nice Find. Love the color too. The body appears to be in good shape. Was it stowed indoors all this time. They are so hard to find on the east coast
