Hey, you don't need the voltage regulator. The alternator is internally regulated. You may want to look up a wiring diagram from the 70's car or truck for under the hood connections

[@R3TR0R4V3]

I was thinking that too, especially with the F (field) A (armature) terminals.. That's all generator stuff, which isn't applicable here.

[@CarDocBabaPhilipo]

The inline fuse link by the high blower relay is the fuse for that relay. The wires below the fan motor are for the blower resistor to give you low and medium speeds. If you remove the resistor and check it probably has the mouse remains burned on it 😅! Love the work! Takes a lot of guts to finish one like this but you have got it now 😊 👍!!!

[@Jabbernack]

I hate wiring and electrical. Be glad you didn’t LS swap it! HEI with a one-wire alternator is plenty! Keep her simple! You’re the best entertainment on You Tube!

Hey there Puddin , You can get your head lamp retaining screw clips in the Dorman Help section at your local parts store ! You may also want too replace your dimmer switch on the floor , and also add grounding straps to your front clip and firewall , they are just as important as a positive for proper electrical circuit to work correctly 😀 👍 😉

At the factory, those threaded inserts are referred to as "Scrivets". They still use them today for ease of installation. That ticking sound is pretty normal for those early small block Chebbys. Way to go Puddin' Man.

[@cobyburrow9339]

If you use the resistor wire it can possibly catch fire. You need a switched hot for an HEI. Full 12 volts.

[@boogerhooks]

Dash lights is probably going to be the headlight switch or instrument cluster ground. Rotate the knob on the headlight switch to make sure you're not just dimmed down or dirt in the switch. Run the dash screws in and out to get a better ground.

Chasing electrical is fun if you have enough room to work which is challenging at times. When you were trying out the heater fan switch I was expecting a cloud of mouse house to come flying out. That stuff just keeps coming even after you think you got it all, hate it with a passion. Good luck on the move, exciting times for you and the family.

[@tomredmond]

That relay you were questioning on is for the A/C system, along with the "spare" wires in that area. Those would be for the compressor clutch and the cut-in/cut-out switches. Been some 45-50 years since I worked on a vehicle of that vintage, so memory isn't to solid.

If you haven’t used Deoxit before, it helps revive electrical connections. I found it when the volume knob in my radio wouldn’t change volume.

Really sucks when you get the sense a reliable shop is falling off. Happens so often like you said, someone important passes, or moves on; things look a little more behind or worse for wear when you go by, then the work starts to get affected. Was surprised there were no complaints on the turnaround time of the alternator, wasn't surprised to see they assembled the casing backwards.

If you ever struggle getting the riv nut tool in somewhere - you can crimp em down using a bolt with a nut on it . Run the nut down the bolt , thread the bolt into the Rivnut , then run the nut down (use a washer so the nut doesn’t tear up the riv nut)

On the back of the fan motor and the windshield wiper motor is an outward facing dimple, Carefully drill a Tiny hole and spray some lubey dubey in there. The 'self lubricating' grease tends to turn hard and loses its lubricity. Seizing or at very least dragging on the motor.
