My wiring harness going to my engine is a complete wreck. For starters, 99% of it is unused because most of it has to do with the stock Duraspark ignition and stuff like AC and then on the other side i've got wiring for the stock 3 wire alt. setup and for the external regulator. I wanna pull the whole engine harness out but i'm terrified that i'll never get it running again if i do.


So here's my questions, and remember this is a carbed car so:

1) how difficult is it to pull out the harness that has to do with the engine?

2) I only really need a single wire going to the starter to start the car...the distributor has the ignition built in (Mallory Unilite Comp 9000) and it gets power from the solenoid. Everything else can be run off key-on relays (efan, fog lights). So how do i go about making a harness for just that?

3) Is there anything on the interior side that has to do with that harness?
