Yes, this is what I have too.

But the Haynes Manual shows something that looks a little different. They could, of course, be using the engine out of a Sprint, which could be slightly different. I don't believe they identify, besides saying that it's a three cylinder, which vehicle they photograph.

Anyhoo...I'll take your word for it and GeoZuki's too if he concurs.

I do still hear a whine coming from that side of the engine though. I'm going to remove the alternator belt and run the engine at temperature to see if the whining persists. The last time I ran the engine without the alternator belt the engine was cold.

I've noticed that when all my accessories are on (lights, wipers, radio, and blower, that the idle drops to below 500 and the engine threatens to stall. Bad alternator perhaps?

Thanks,

GeoMetron
