Is it HEI? One power wire to the dist./ coil. Battery to the starter. You can use a remote trigger from the parts store for to start it. That will get you down the road.



Negative battery cable to the block
Positive battery cable to the starter solenoid
Wire with a pushbutton from +12V to the S terminal of the starter solenoid (or a remote starter button if you have one)
Wire with a toggle switch from +12V to the BATT terminal of the HEI.
Or you could just twist the wires together. Not that I've done that.
