Ok... The owner who had the car before me put in a carbureted engine, which is in it now.... My car came stock with the 305 TPI.. So it was computerized... There is a huge hack job under my hood in the top right corner.... Looks like a birds nest of wires... The guy also did a hack job on the wires going to the alternator, starter, etc.... Does someone have a diagram of the wires I need.. I want to know which wires i "need" to run my carbureted engine..... The wires going to the alternator, where are they coming from? They are all spliced and taped up.. Does all the wiring come from under the dash? I am brand new to wiring but i want to rewire this whole car... There must not be many wires to run a carbureted car.. All i need is my fuel, volts, speedo, oil pressure, engine temp guages, than whutever wires are needed to run the engine... Can someone give me some info... I know I need my negative terminal wire going to an engine ground, and positive goes to the starter, where does the alternator come into play, etc...... Thanks alot....

 

Ok, the first advice ill give you, is to buy a chiltons or haynes manual for the exact schematic. For a clean installation, all the wires that go towards the passenger side lead down between the fender and frame and go in right near the passenger side kick panel. Youll need to remove the computer as well. Now fundamentally, the wires you should need to run the distributor, gauges, and lights should come off the drivers side bulkhead, right next to power brake booster. A schematic will give you colors. If you need details, email me, but first check the schematic in those manuals.

Chiltons/Haynes are unlikely to have the exact schematic...they vary quite a bit from year to year as well as for various options. Best route is to bite the bullet and get a Helm manual for your exact year, it will have very accurate wiring diagrams.

There are two connectors between the engine compartment and the interior. C100 is the big one on the firewall near the brake booster, and C207 is a smaller one under the dash above the passenger footwell. Depending on that year's thinking, gauge inputs will be distributed between these two.
