    Wiring Schematic

     



    Does anyone have a good wiring schematic for a SBC engine? I have a one wire alt., mini starter with two big lugs and one small, a three wire HEI.

    I did get my horn to work though, sure is loud!!!

    What really is it that you need? Did you buy a wiring harness? If so it should tell you what goes where. I can help but need to know what you are starting with...

    I bought an EZ wire harness and I think I have most of it figured out except for the distributer. It's an MSD Streetfire HEI with a three wire plug coming out of it, red, yellow and black. Can't seem to figure this out.

    Oops, I just noticed it has another place for a plug under the black cap.

    The 3 wire plug is probably from the base of the distributor to the cap... The wiring to the distributor should be a 12V+ lead from the ignition "on" position, then another terminal for the tachometer connection.

    Thanks Dave, I finally found a picture and realized the plug goes to the cap, that's what had me confused. So I got IGN Switch and Tach to the HEI and ALT power and the ALT Bypass to the starter with the bypass going to the Alternator.

    Thanks again,
