Is this a 1g alternator?

So I just got the Talon running last night.
Now it seems that my alternator isn't working.
I checked the battery with the car running with a meter and it is staying under 12 volts.
I have an issue with the plug going to it, it is kind of melted?:hmm:
Any way the car came with a spare Alternator, but it has a 4 plug pin, while the one on my car only has 2?
Here is the picture.

I will post a picture of what the one in the car looks like asap.
I've done a lot of searching but most of the threads out their are for 2g's.
If I could get a diagram or just some one to tell me, what wire does what it would be greatly appreciated!

Looks to be a 2g ALT. just get a 1g so you do not have to go looking for a 2g ALT plug to wire it up.
 
haha well I just happen to have a wiring harness that came with the car too.
I'm guessing now it is a 2g harness?:confused:
Because it has the plug on it, but has 3 wires going to it.
So if this 2g alternator tests good, how would go about wiring it up?

Never mind the 2g ALT tested bad and it figured out last night that the 80A relay was blown!
Now it is working, just not very well.
It just barely get up to 13 volts.
