you should be able to. they are both 3 wire plugs. Where did you get the alternator from? What year is your car?

Sounds like you got an alternator from a 92-95 and you have a mid 95+

should work fine as long as you know which wires go where and do a proper job of splicing in the connector.

The wire colors are the same, later model uses thinner wiring but it doesn't make a difference.

I've been running mine this way for a long time.
