You'll have difficulty trying to size an object by using a two dimension picture. you'll need to match your existing unit, side by side. Then , you still don't know for sure till it's fit in and the wiring length checked.

Depends on your year of SC300. 92-94 round plug. 95+ different. Also interchangeable with other toyota cars of the same year. I have used ones for 92-94 for $40+shipping.

Hold on hold on dont return it!!! Just do a plug swap. Thats what I did when mine went out last 2 weeks ago. You unscrew the top cap off and then you unscrew the plug off and you put in all onto your new alternator and Bam! Good as new.
