I am using the same thing except with the 21 fuse kit.....only just barely getting started....if you are still having problems when I get that far; I will help, at least tell you what i did

[drewfever1020]

i would appreciate it!

Here's the website and the phone number is right on the home page. Maybe you can still catch them tonight and possibly progress further along on your project. Good Luck.

have used two of the 21 circuit kits. Are you using an oem alternator? I run a one wire alt. myself. I can try and take a look at it......

[drewfever1020]

the old harness on my truck had 2 wires running to the alternator

I use a 1-wire alt. myself. So I can't be much help either. I needed a 100 amp alt. so I just went the simple route. I'd contact EZ, or find a custom shop that uses EZ's kit, and ask them. One I know of in Ennis, Tx is

I bought my A/C kit from him and he was more than happy to answer a few dumb wiring questions I had along the way.

That looks like a stock alternator. A one wire alternator is just that ...One Wire
Can't remember how it all hooks up but your EZ harness should have another wire called an Exciter Wire. You'll need that wire also for the alternator pictured.

FYI...I recommend you change that glass filter. Although it looks pretty. It will vibrate against one of those brackets. If it breaks, you'll redefine the phrase "fueling the fire". Most all the board members would suggest that you NOT use that glass filter four your safety and your trucks safety.

ok now i know how the wires hook up to the alternator.
but i have another question?
how am i supose to hook up the neutral safety switch?
its says that i will cut the ignition switch start wire and attach both ends to each port on the switch.
i dont understand that part so can u guys help me out?


thanks for the tip on the glass filter, i dont want to start a fire haha!

Cut the red wire going to the ign. sw. Connect each end to the 2 wires coming from n/s sw. Check the last page of the instructions that came with your harness. It is explained there.

[drewfever1020]

you think u can show me some pics?
im really lost

[drewfever1020]

this is the ign sw start
is this were it goes?



this is my nuetral safety switch and im confused to were it goes



i need help really bad, im confused

[steves1967]

Think of it like a river. The red wire (riverbed) and the electricity (water) the electricity flows from the ignition switch, through the neutral safety switch then to the starter solenoid. The electricity flows into one side of the neutral safety switch and then out the otherside of the switch...

[drewfever1020]

so then i have to cut the the ign switch and put one side to the neutral sw and the other peace from the ign switch to the other side of the neutral switch, then i end up with the end of the ign switch going to the starter?

if i got it erong can u plz tell me the order?

[drewfever1020]

anyone?

[drewfever1020]

thanks to u guys help i got everything wired rite!

but now i need to know if i have to put a resistor for the coil?

my older harness just had a cable going to the coil and my choke was hooked up there, can i do it like that or would it mess up?

[santana474]

Not gonna be any help tonight, but I will take pics and post some additional info. I had a lot of the same questions but with the help of a lot of guys here and at EZ Wire, I got thru it.

If you talk to the guy at EZ wire, he will give you an after hours and weekend phone number. He seems pretty familiar with our trucks to.

[drewfever1020]

alright cool

[drewfever1020]

how did u guys hook up the wires to the distibuter?
do i need a resistor?
were can i get one?

i need help hooking up the wires to the ignition, my ignition is difernt to the one one on the diagram.
can you guys help me?
if u got pics that would be great, thanks!

[drewfever1020]

here are some pics

my ignition


the e-z diagram

[drewfever1020]

anyone?
i need to get my truck running asap!

[Psycho71]

The SOL (solenoid) terminal. I'd have to look at mine again to be 100% positive. But I'm pretty sure that's it.

If you have an OHM meter, just ohm the terminals, and cycle the switch. It will all be very clear then.


Are you using an HEI distributer? If so, you'll only need the tach wire (if you have a tach), and the coil wire. If it's still points type, then you'll need someone else to help you thru it. The first thing I do when I encounter a points type ignition, is throw it away and buy an HEI.

i dont know what kind of distributer i have but i can take a pic for u?
u think u can show me some pics of how u got ur wires hooked up?
