i have a 1972 fj40 that had a chevy 350 swap that was poorly done so i’m trying to fix it. now that i have the motor properly placed i’m trying to figure out wha the heck is going on with the wiring.
here goes. the PO decided not to use the stock gauges so put some aftermarket ones in. i’m just going to run with them for now. so far i have a white/red stripe coming out of the left upper firewall harness that goes to the alternator as the excite wire. i think that’s correct. that’s about it!
off the charge post of the alternator i have a white/blue stripe wire that goes to the upper left firewall harness but to a black/ red stripe as well as a wire to the aftermarket amp meter.
the other wire from the amp meter then come back and splices to a red (i think that’s the headlights wire) as well and a white/blue stripe and a pure white. these are the same upper left wiring harness. i don’t know and can’t figure out from the wiring diagram what those wires are doing.
from the right side fire wall i have a small black/yellow strip that goes to the ign side of my hei distributor and i have a black/white stripe going to the starter. from what i can figure these are correct.
can anyone tell me what the heck is going on with the alternator wiring and what those bunch of wires spliced together are doing. i don’t even see a white/blue stripe wire on the wiring diagram
