Its a bit of a repeat request but I have more info, so hopefully someone knows the answer.
The alternator is a ND CHA51 , I believe it spins anti clock on the Honda but according to an earlier post that shouldn't matter. The crunch is
it has four terminals in the plug, they are listed as D, FR, IG and L as well as the high power connector to the battery. Anyone know what to connect
to where?. If anyone has a diagram for a Civic CRX 1.5 that may help.

That has a 3 pin plug, mine has 4
googling for that model comes up with this:

so far L and IG are sorted.
and morre googling ...
FR = is a regulator output terminal that sends a “field response” signal to one or more of the on board computers. (PCM) It’s signal represents the
“duty cycle” of or “how hard” the alternator is working.
I suggest you leave unconnected.
so just D left.......
woo hoo;
D - On later Mitsubishi alternators (Mazda 626/323 1997-) this connection is for is for managing the field, by a square-pulse DC. The regulator is a
part of the engine computer system. damn computers!! OBS. Do not mix up this connection with the “dummy”. The shape of the plug is similar
to one with the S and L. To make sure which Connection you have, measure with an ohm-meter between S/D and to the ground. Reading less than 1000 Ohm
shows a “data “ connection.
If I were you, I would leave unconnected and see what happens.
A true master of Google! found is equivalent to Lucas A3180 and Delco DRA3117, but no wiring for them. Is used on Rover 200 also!
Thanks for your help.
