just buy the factory original end or cut it off one in a bone yard and size and color code should match up if correct year is used

well i just bought the car. i kept the plug to the 130 amp harness to use it when i get a 130 amp. heres the deal i got the car for 800.00 and it didn't have a center concole, upper or lower intake or an alt. so i bought the intakes and the guy had the 75 amp atl and wanted 15.00 for it so i bought it from the guy that had the intakes. the car has a msd ignition kit, aluminum driveshaft, lowered 1.5", cobra r 03 rims, cd player, 3:73 gears, and new tires. i got the center console fromthe junkyard for 40.00 so now i have all the parts and puttin it together to get it running. but im broke till payday. plus my wife is kinda hot about all the money, butit will be worth it in the end.im an e-5 in the army i don't make that much $$$ but we do alright. but i just had to have the car especially for that price. i got the alt working i think but when i rev on the gas then the battery guage raises to like the rpms but not as much. is this normal. i really appreciate all the help yall have saved me alot of $$$$.
