Dude,

I truly do not mean to be an A$$ or anything, but this thread, along with some of your others, are beginning to look like you're jerkin' our chain. At this point, I'm not sure if you're kidding around, or just truly incapable. Incapable is one thing. There are more people here willing to help than one could shake a stick at. But you post questions with no info as to the specific problem you're having. In another thread you asked how to wire the choke on your Holley 600. Someone said run it to the coil. You actually responded back, "to the + or - post on the coil" (indicating you have a points type distributer, or non-HEI anyway). Then in this thread you post a pic of your distributer, and it's an HEI! Which has no "-" terminal at all. Now all of your pics have broken links.

To the mods,
I'm sorry if I'm out of line here. I know it's not my place to reprimand anyone, and if I've violated any rules, I apologize. And if so, please delete this post. But I'm getting rather skeptical at this point as to weather or not this or other threads by this user are truly genuine?

And Drew, if I'm wrong, please accept my apology. But even you must admit, something looks fishy here.

so if i dont know that much about trucks, that makes everything fishy!
i guess!

[Psycho71]

I did not say that at all. And I specifically apologized if I was wrong. If you want to take what I said the wrong way, that's fine with me. I even realize that you might be offended by the way I stated it. And again, IF I'M WRONG, I'M SORRY!

So, I ask again...Do you in fact have the distributer you posted a pic of in your truck, or does it in fact have an external coil which WOULD have a positive and negative terminal on it? It only one or the other. They will not work in unison. I suppose it could even be a case of someone installing an HEI (like you posted a pic of) and leaving the old coil in the engine bay, that's unlikely but not impossible I suppose. If that IS the case, refer to the paragraph above.

So now, what SPECIFICALLY are you having problems with on the switch? A tip I've personally found helpful on this board is, when you need help, you cannot provide too many specifics about the problem itself. You have been very vague, and that makes offering up info difficult.

Better yet, I'll just step off of this thread. Sorry about the insult, and I'm out.

it is an hei!
i know that

[sixty8c10]

did you ever get this done? I am just now getting to the dash long way from done I know, but i am in no hurry I want to do it once. I am finished with the rear lights, the head lights, need parts to finish wiring engine, working on dash/ interior, still need to wire air compressor...i get there eventually.

[drewfever1020]

im on the dash part also!
i havnt had time to work on it, i need to order some new switchs!
im stuck in which gauges to get!

[sixty8c10]

I just got a new factory guage cluster w/tach.... i plan on doing it the hard way, i want factory guages in mine, i'm also using the factory light and wiper switches, undecided on the ignition switch though. i pulled apart the old factory dash harness and traced the wires as to what goes where labeled the plugs so i could solder splice them into the harness. I am just begining this process only got the wiper switch wired and some of the light switch.

[drewfever1020]

good luck man!
let me know how it goes?

[flamingbig10]

I was about to take a sledgehammer to my fuse box and truck, since the instructions don't tell much, and the factory wires are covered in paint and grease, but I found the post about how to hook up the wires that go to the starter, alternator, and HEI hopley I can get my truck run by the end of the year, but some available pics would really help

[sixty8c10]

got mine done...haven't put the cluster in yet though, but everything works (Its running)....only issue I got is my power windows are constant (always hot)

I got lost again on the harness what are all the wires that go to the starter the only ones I know of is the battery cable, neutral safety, and the starter wire

[sixty8c10]

if i can get some time these next fews days i'll go look, but mine was a little different cause i used a high output internally regulated alt.

[Psycho71]

If memory serves me correctly, and sometimes it doesn't, there's also the power wire that feeds the fuse block itself. Seems like I took mine to the large terminal on the starter.

[flamingbig10]

well I figured out the harness and I got my truck started Yesterday I'll go back and double check the wires that go to starter to make sure there away from the headers and check alll the connections are good because I was in a hurry and wan't my truck to start before year was over and it did now I just have to hook up the rest of the wires and get some battery cable long enough to go to the bed

[sixty8c10]

glad to hear you got it going, i still haven't had time to look
