Question: My "new" alternator has a 4-prong plug (1 lg, 3 sm), plus the battery terminal...the plug (connector) on my harness only has two wires, not four. Thus...they do not mate together. How to rectify and mate up?

I dont know much about alternators.
you need to go to a one wire alt. or put the old type alt. that came on the 65. i'd go with the one wire.
