Starter and alternator wiring
 
On the starter there is 1 big conector and 2 small ones. What small one do I put the wire? Or do it matter?


And the alternator plug can go in both ways what is the right way to plug it in?

One should be marked R and S.
S is for start and the R is for the ignition(you only need this if you got the old points system don not use on HEI).

We need to see what type of alternaot you got.

Connect the starter wire to the "S" terminal it's the one closer to the block.
The alt should be a 12SI and the terminals should be labeled 1 and 2 # 1 should have switched ignition through a charge light or resistor and terminal 2 should have full battery power.
