Motor wiring help.

[fancyvancey]

I'm needing help wiring my motor up. I've switched to a newer alternator with an internal regulator so i can get rid of the old external regulator, I also have a new h.e.i distributor. Anyways I'm wanting to clean the wiring up at the same time so I'm needing to know what all I need to keep and get rid of. Does any one have a simple wire diagram I could follow. I tired finding one online but I'm kinda chasing my tail probably typing in the wrong thing or something ha. Thanks

Use the search bar at the top of this page, click the dot to 67-72chevytrucks.com type alternator in the box and hit google button. Tons o'stuff in there. As for the hei, I run mine with a heavy wire connected to an auxiliary port on the fuse block labeled "ignition unfused" works great.

Run a new #8 wire from the battery to the lug on the horn relay. Tape off the old wiring to the alternator. Run a new #8 wire from the alternator to the lug on the horn relay or right to the battery depending on what side your alternator is on. For my hei i ran a new #14 wire from the key switch to the distributor.

sharps40 did a real nice writeup with lots of pics on this. Do a search using his name and you should be able to find it easily. Also, in the electrical section, there are LOTS of great diagrams, just spend a few minutes searching.
