I'm trying to finish up a 72 350 swap in a buddy's 87 regal, and the car is a former sbc race car, and the previous owner hacked up the wiring harness that comes out of the firewall near the brake booster. I need some help identifying the following wires: -a fairly big pink one (approx. 12 guage)-? -a fairly big black one with a purple tracer-? -a small white or grey wire with a pink or red tracer (approx.16 guage) ? -a small dark green one-? -a medium sized red one with a fusible link and an eye attatched, about a 3/16 hole-? -a fairly large sized purple one - Starter wire? -2 red ones joined at the end by a big eye- pretty sure these go to starter main? also, since it's a 72 engine, it had a points distributor, which i converted to a pertronix electronic. How do i wire this up in regards to the coil? how do i wire up the 72 alternator? is this internal or external regulator? do buick distributors rotate clockwise or counter? THanks for any help you can give. :TU:
Real quick. Distributor turns clockwise. If the Alt is internally regulated, it'll match the Regals plug.
Some stuff to add: Wiring diagrams for the G body (Regal/Malibu/Cutlass/GP) can be found here: http://www.maliburacing.com/wiring.html Here's the ignition system showing your pink wires: http://www.maliburacing.com/wiring_diagrams/V8IgnitionSystem.jpg Starter: http://www.maliburacing.com/wiring_diagrams/StarterSystem.jpg ...and the ignition switch: http://www.maliburacing.com/wiring_diagrams/IgnitionSwitch.jpg That should cover your wiring bundle. :TU:
