yellow wire goes to #1 (L)
black/red goes in the middle to #2 (IG)
white goes to #3 (S)
make sure you correctly figure out which is #1 (L) and which #3 (S)
Looking at the alternator receptacle with the latch tab on top, the #1 pin is on the left, #2 pin in the middle and the #3 on the right.
as far as replacing the connector:
a LOT of different Toyota models all throughout the 90's, including the trucks, used this three wire alternator plug, go to any good pull-a-part junkyard with a good selection of imports and you ought to be able to round up 3 or 4 of these connectors with pigtail within 10 or 15 minutes! (not that you need 3 or 4, but I would get 2 while I was there) - and you will probably be charged a whopping $2 for each
