Re: 72 C-20 Help
Possibly for a dual battery. Should have nothing to do with the HEI

Re: 72 C-20 Help
If this is what your talking about it's the alternator. Splices should be a little neater and bare wires need some insulation

Re: 72 C-20 Help
Your positive battery cable should have a small wire that comes off of it at the battery connection. This wire connects to a fusible link and then the fusible link connects to the junction block on the passenger fender. The junction block and associated wiring with 2 small inline fuses are what powers your volt meter. It has nothing to do with the HEI operation.
