SD diesels were widely available in the US in the 1981-86 Datsun/Nissan 720 pickups, and in Canada through '87 in the D21 pickup.

There should only be 4 wires, 2 of them in a plastic plug that goes in the plug hole, a large white wire going to the main output post, and a main black wire that grounds to the body of the alternator, that is about it.
Unless you are trying to put a different alternator on your truck from something else, or you bought a newer alternator that has 3 wires in the plug, I have no idea about that, there was someone else on here with that issue, but I don't know which thread it was, but they bought the alt. on ebay.
I know the voices are not real,
but they have some really good ideas.
