did you convert to an OBD1 alternator when you did the swap? If you didn't the plugs will be different for sure.
I thought the mounting was the same but I'm not 100%.

well not the alternator brackets probably because you have an obd1 alternator and are trying to put it on the obd2 motor (p.s. see if you can order a del sol alternator bracket if you can)
