I hope you guys can bear with me, I've got a few questions...
My situation: Remember this is a frame off restoration. There was no wiring in my car before this weekend. I tried to put in my new engine harness, the old front light harness, refurbished fuse box, and tail light harness.
I think I routed everything correctly on the new engine harness, because there were no directions or pictures were included. So I kind of just matched up the old harness locations to the new one. The old harness was a '69 externally regulated w/ points resistor wire, and I bought a replacement harness that is internally regulated with HEI to the coil (12v I assume).
The only thing I wanted to get accomplished was to make the starter engage via the key and not the remote switch I had been using up till now.
I installed the steering column, hooked up what I thought was the correct set of wires for the steering column to signal the starter, and I got nothing.
1) What is the minimal wiring harness I need to be able to test the kicking over of the starter? Right now I don't have any gauges or dash parts hooked up. I have the fuse box in place, the headlight switch in the dash hooked up, the steering column long turn-signal plug plugged in, the gear selector switch on the steering column hooked up, and the taillight wiring harness plugged in.
2) What are the proper spots on the FGF for ground straps? I put one between the passenger rear head bolt and the firewall, but I was unsure where the others go. Is there one between the engine and the front subframe?
3) On the fuse box, the upper left fuse is not hooked up to anything internally inside the box. It just runs from the constant hot, across the fuse to a connector. Is this supposed to be used for accessories that need constant power?
