Need a Wirring Diagram for engine run stand.

[vara4]

I need a wirring diagram for engine run stand.
I am tired of seeing my engine just sitting there after years.
I would like to get all my adjustments done to it while
I am still getting the body of the Ranchero right.
Besides I have my son back home to help me out now.
I am taking any helpful tips that might help my stand build as well.
Thanks Kurt

to make the test stand panel...

Pc. of sheet metal to house 1 push to start button, 1 ing. kill switch, oil psi gauge, water temp gauge, volt gauge, and tach

Tray on bottom to sit battery in.

Tray up front to put a rad.

Tray on other side of bottom for a fuel can/cell

To wire it up....

1) Battery cable from + on battery to big post on starter.
2) Battery cable from - on battery to engine block, and test stand
3) 10 ga, Wire From back of alt. to battery
4) plug on alt. 2 wires, 1 goes back to the back of alt, other goes to battery but add a 47-50 ohm resistor in line the wire before battery.
5) wire from big post on starter to push button
wire from little post towards oil pan on starter to other side of push button.
6) wire from HEI dist "batt" post to toggel switch
7) wire from other side of toggel switch to battery
8) green wire on tach to HEI dist "tach" post
9) black wire on tach to battery ground to test stand frame
10) tach's other wires to the "non powered" side of toggel switch
11) volt gauge red wire to "non powered" side to toggel switch
10) volt gauge black wire to frame of test stand, battery - or engine block

Now on your oil psi and water temp.. You could use mech. senders (plastic, copper tube going from gauge to engine) or elec. senders where a sender is screwed into engine, then a wire goes from sender to gauge.

Wired up like that.. You flip your toggel switch which will power up your dist, gauges, etc, push the start button to turn starter over and fire engine. To shut the engine off you just flip your toggel switch
