Re: Wiring for Engine

Ok you guys lost me on the ccc crap, the esc dist. some of the old style have vac. adv. and all you have to do is cut 2 wires and splice them together then it's a regular hei dist. cheap and easy and works perfectly.

As for wires you need, alt., starter, dist. That's it.

Gauges, only if you use the factory style, I'd go with aftermarket be more accurate and reliable.

You usually have the battery ground to the block, one from block to frame, or make one, and one from motor to firewall or make one, it helps alot. Battery to starter, solenoid small wires, maybe 1-3 not sure. Then batt. for dist. and alt. wires, that's about it. If you do gauges you'll need the water temp one, and oil pressure, that's it. On these trucks I think it be best just yank the computer behind the dash with it's wires, remove it all intact, then seal up the hole in the firewall the wires went thru, or block it off.
