Ok trying to figure this ez-wiring out..
got farther today..

mounted the engine wire harness into the truck....
  • Wired Temp Sensor
  • Wired Oil Sendor
  • Wired Coil hot
  • Wired electric choke
  • Wired small post of starter
I didnt get to run the hot wire to the big post on the starter as I need to get a connector end to do that so will do that most likely tomorrow...

but last thing for me to hookup besides the hot (which supplies the power to the entire fuse block!!!!!) is the alternator.

There is a alternator exciter wire and Alternator Hot

but looking at their diagram it is wired in differently than the oem way...

they are showing to wire the supplied plug wit 0 ring end to the hot post behind the alternator and the Alt power to that same spot..... I am not great on wiring and curious what are they accomplishing with this?
Im going to wire it that way.... but still dont get it....

once I get the alt wired and final starter wire in I just have to move the in cab wiring in (fuseblock) and can fire the truck up.... I just wont have the headlights or tail lights wired in at that point or any gauges.....
buy this is taking some time....
