SC400 alternator

Well I had zero luck with this question in the maintenance forum, but I'm sure someone here will be able to answer it. My alternator went out and I am looking to replace it with a Denso, but the site I found has two different options for the plug in the back, but they claim both work... I don't see how they would both work when they are THAT different looking. I put red circles around the two plug spots. The question here is which would be the one to get for my '95 SC400? Thanks everyone.

Oh yeah and I am unable to remove it for a while to check myself, just want to order the right one and do it all at once.

You need Denso part number 210-0173. That is the only one for the 95 SC400. I hope that helps. Which should be the oval plug design. On your picture it is the one on the left.

I just worked on mine, so I know....

....and for the 1992 SC400, it's the one on the right, so the design must have changed in 94 or 95.

a bit off topic,

the oval plug is also used by the supra TT, while the aristo and 1jz use a circle plug
