Hey guys me again, I just planted a chevy 400 into my 79 trans am. I've got it running great besides the the rear main leak. The other problem is how exactly the wiring should go. I have the alternator wired wrong I think. I have tried it a couple of ways and as soon as I turn on the headlights it wants to die. Also when I pull the battery cable off when the car is running it will instantly die. Does anyone have a good engine wiring schematic for a chevy engine. I know this is something simple I just can't get it right. I have the schematic for the Trans am but I don't understand the whole alternator charging the battery deal. Can I run a direct line to the battery from the alternator battery terminal. Please help I would really like to get out of the garage.
