I know Classic Heartbeat has things available that are not on their website. For wiring harnesses, there are lots of good sources out there like Painless Performance, American Autowire and others.
Classic sells M&H or American Autowire....They can tailor as needed, such as for HEI, internally regulated alternator, etc.

Some notes on the red wire OP:

Three wires attach to junction block secured with a 3/8" flange nut for a #10-24 stud. The three wires are described as:

• 12 AWG red: This wire runs to the positive terminal on the battery.

• 12 AWG red & fusible links configuration: A 12 AWG red wire runs from the firewall block to a splice. This wire is soldered with three additional 12 AWG red wires. One wire routes to the alternator, one wire to the voltage regulator, and one wire to a fusible link that attaches to the junction block. NOTE: The red wire from the firewall block also uses a fusible link near the splice.

• 18 AWG black: This wire connects to #12 on the cluster connector and then down to the fuse box. It then runs from firewall block to the junction block. This wire has a 4 AMP in-line fuse near the junction block.

Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
