Two basic wiring questions : Building a race car from an empty shell - not one single wire in the car !!


#1 -- How many and Where do the wires from the alternator go ?? this is a very basic race car - no fancy electronics - it has Carbs and a pertronix Distrib.


#2 --- I have an Ignition switch next to a start button.... I know where the starter button wires go --- But where do I run the ignition "HOT" wire to and from ??? the + side of the coil - thru a fuse - to the + side of the battery ???


Thanks --- cant believe I could not find the answers to my dumb questions --- I guess I must be dumber than the normal race car builder ----

Alternator charge wire goes to the battery. use #6 copper or bigger.

OK - any where else or is that it --- the atlernator has at least 3 wires coming out of it ----- do these cars have an internat voltage regulator ??

you will need to power the + side of the coil with you "hot while cranking" switch position.

Ok --- but then off after it starts ??? or hot all the time the engine is running???

thanks
