Thanks guys,

Dave-that's what I thought. There is a brake switch light that comes off the column but mine doesn't fit that plug. I'll try phoning them.

Iceburgh-I found a diagram for that, thanks.

Falconvan-It had to be a forged rod for all the high speed cornering I'm gonna be doing.

IC2- Those kind of tips are great, I'll have to go back and read it again as I go along and I think I'll have a better understanding of some of it. I made my dash removable so I can wire it all up and have the main connectors so all I have to do is plug them in. Sounds easy, but I'm sure there will be more to it than that.

I also flipped the fuse box so the wires are coming out the top.

I've been searching around for direction so I thought I would verify this. I'm wiring up my engine now and I have a 100 amp. one wire alt. and a mini Powermax starter.

First off the solenoid has two large lugs and one small one. One of the large lugs has a wire connected to the starter so does this mean the other goes to the battery? Also the ign. switch start must go to the small lug, am I right? Now where does the solenoid power go to?? I also assume the starter and alt. are both grounded through the engine. I'm getting more confused.

The one wire alt. says to use a jumper cable from it to the battery side of the solenoid, is that it, do I not need the alternator power and exciter then.

My HEI has three wires, black, red and yellow and I have no idea what to do here. I think the coil pos. and the tach go here as well as a ground but I'm not sure either............HELP!
