sorry for such a stupid question, but for an OBD1 setup, do I have to run an OBD1 alternator, or is the OBD2 still ok? I ask because I JUST got my car driving with the new swap, and my alternator is doing absolutely nothing. I assume it is dead, but do I need to replace it with an OBD1 or stick with the OBD2 that was originially on the b18b1?
Thanks in advance

You can use either Alternator, but you may have to change the plug.

well I have the obd2 harness and alternator, so the plug matches the harness. I assume that means that my problem is a dead alternator, and not that I need an OBD1 alternator. If that's the case, then thanks for the help. I'm ready to drive again haha

edit - took the alternator to the parts store and had it tested, alternator is good...I don't know where to go with it now.

Gotta be a wiring issue.
