    Wiring, need a little help

    One was off that i overlooked and it was obvious:cookoo:.. the battery wire should be on the 3rd post on the POSITIVE BLOCK with the starter wire. Would that cause this issue? Also on my red/white on the pass alt, i put a plastic washer behind it. There was nothing on this little stud at all...

    Wiring, need a little help

    I did this, everything is correct.. this is why im so confused. Only thing i cant figure out is i have a wire(blue) coming off of the positive terminal board that connects to a heavy(8)red wire and this wire goes nowhere. I cant even find on any schematic what its there for.

    Wiring, need a little help

    So my batteries are correct then, just went and looked. Another thing i noticed is BAT 1 has 3 grounds for some reason, 1 going to the frame, 1 going to the valve cover, and then 1 going to the NEG TERM BOARD. Im going to have to address that also now. I got 2 fresh batteries, going to wire...

    Wiring, need a little help

    BACK OF ALT. Notice its missing the ground stud on bottom left corner for red/wht and i dont see where one could even go. Also notice where the red/wht goes, red wire is supposed to go there and im assuming its the wire down below here in the next attached pic. Wiring harness. The red wiring...

I cant get my printer to work to print the schematics and i...
