After some p-mail advice from a few listees, it seems the connections are all there, but some have changed from screw terminals to push- ons. All are labeled (e.g. B+, D+, W, etc.), so it's just a matter of mating screw terminals wiring to the new connectors.

IMHO, this sucks because the push-on terminals are rather flimsy, can pop off easier, and are more susceptible to corrosion. Oh well, I'll probably get my old alternator rebuilt and keep it as a spare.

Thanks to all who responded.
