Alternator communication cable disintegrated

It's been an ongoing process that I have negelected and last night the ominous red alt indicator came on and voltage gauge dropped down. Sure enough, when I stopped to look the connector had popped out of the top of the alternator. Attempting to stick it back in it just crumbled into uselessness. I am assuming it is the communication cable between the the V Reg and ecmu. I am now dead in the water. I am attempting to find a replacement, but in the meantime if I can rig up a straight connection I need to know which 2 of the 4 pins in the alt socket are the correct ones. Ive got a red and a white wire. Also anyone know where I can get a replacement socket/cable that I can splice into the leads?

It is the one that is recommended but I didn't know for sure. I have removed ti from the store.

Just got more info. That one may be used. the generics come with 4 wire, but our cars only use the center 2. So the 2 outside pins would be snipped and/or disregarded. I would keep it in the store.
