I picked up an alternator today and i went to install it, but mine has a few connectors the new alt. does not have. I know i need to have the new wire kit and stuff like that, but it just does not look right.
Can i use this alternator? If i can, do i need some kind of special wiring kit?
Here are a few pics of the alt:

correct alternator so long as the mounting ears are the right spacing.
all you need is a fused 4awg length of wire from the alt to the fender solenoid, and a 3g spade plug for the single white/black stripe wire (or use a crimp on style blade connector on the wire), your existing D plug should plug right in.
you'll also probably have to grind a notch into the alternator bracket to fit the larger casing of the 3g.

Where can i find a fuse big enough for the in-line fuse? Every place i look, nothing.

You can get the wire and fuse at a stereo shop.

How dangerous would it be to run it without a fuse?
Im having a hard time finding a fuse for it.

Try harder, it's fused for a reason.
