Simply look at the top of the engineif the valve cover has two humps its a dual cam with the sparkplugs located between the humps which covers the cams. 1 hump 1 cam. 2 humps 2 cams

Another Perspective:Look at the model number either on the registration or on the back of the vehicle.

If it is a "SL2", it has 2 camshafts.

The "SL1" or just "SL", it has only on camshaft.

If the front of the car looks like the SL front clip than it is an SC1 for 1991-5. the only real difference is on the SC1 the engine says SOHC (single overhead cam) on the SC2 the engine says DOHC (dual overhead cam) its right on the top next to the spark plugs in bog friendly bold letters =]

Simply open your cars Hood and find out which engine you have, on top of the engine you should see , DOHC for Dual Overhead Cam, or Twin cam, if you do not see this you likely have a Single overhead Cam engine SOHC. also carefully write down your cars VIN number (vehical Identification Number) it contains an engine code and the parts dealer should be able to supply your alternator from that. Good luck
