Is it a Nippodenso or Mitsubishi alternator?
I have to buy the "wire and plug that goes from the alternator to the wire harness" so... Is there a difference in the two plugs?

Both nippondenso and mitsubishi alternators were used in the 5th gen civics. The key is OBD1 plug like tony mentioned.
Just as an FYI, the nippondensor is the better alternator. I guess it handles the salt better than the mitsubishi's.

Ironically enough... the truck I have broke down on the way to delivering the wiper arms, rear view mirror, and the wire I pictured to the mechanic, to install onto my EJ1. That's.. ironic, right?
.. but, yes, this plug.. I have now.
*edit: Out of curiosity, I will ask/see if it is a Nippodenso. A whole lot of parts they did NOT take from my car. I feel lucky.

Are you missing an alternator plug altogether? If so you'll have to get the OBD1 plug, there's no way around it if your alternator is OBD1

This is an after-effect of the stolen car situation. They stole my alternator wire.
I made a real effort to get one, im actually stunned they said the years of the Civic... was what it was..

tony, Tom: Correct.. I needed the whole plug, with connector on the end. I was able to get it.
and I got charged a truly ridiculous price on the OBD2 wire... I don't even want to mention. If you were me, with receipt in hand, would you go back to that yard that sold that wire, with the wire, calmly explain the situation, and hope for the best on a refund?
Car is running very well now...
