Default Need help with alternator conversion

I bought a DR-44G alternator from ebay with the impression that it would fit. However it has a 2 wire connector and my blazer has a 4 wire connector. from what I can find through my research, there is a 2 wire and a 4 wire version. My question is this, is there an adapter or do I need get a pigtail from a salvage yard? Also, does anyone know where I can get an alternator wiring diagram for the DR-44G wiring? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in negotiation to buy a DR44 right now that has the 4 wire pigtail with it. If the deal goes through you can have the pigtail from it. All I'd ask is for $10 to cover shipping. As for wiring it I have no clue sorry but I believe it can be done.

I need the 2 wire pigtail. But thanks anyway. I might find an altetnator specialist.

I am not sure why I never checked before, but even though it has a 4 pin connector it only has 1 wire.
