I need an inspection of my electrical work I've done so far. Are wires on the terminal block where they are suppose to be? My electrical knowledge is fairly limited. Does the terminal block just makes a juction point for each polarity..(hot wires and ground wires)? I have a new 12v Cole Hersee ignition pilot light. I hooked the ground of the battery and noticed the light is on constant without the turn of the key. Do I need to rewire this to make it a switched power?

The white wire is the ignition coil. yellow on seleniod runs to the ignition starter button switch. Yellow to Red is hot wire for lights. last yellow is ignition hot wire. One red wire is alternator, and i think the other is used for ammetter, which i don't have, so I ran it to the terminal block. Orange must be another ground wire from the selenoid? Are the ignition key wires okay? The back of the fuel gauge, has ground connection on the bottom (which goes to the fuel sending unit, I think). Is B for battery? What is T? And is the black part a light for guage?

One side of your terminal block should be 12volts all the time. This should be the Yellow wire (in your schematic). This should also be connected to one side of the starter relay.

The other side of the terminal block should be +12volts only with the key ON, this is where Red wire is (in your schematic). This should also goto the resister and the small terminal on the starter relay.

Doublecheck the above connections.

a question - have you converted to a one wire alternator? Because I still see a regulator in the last pic.
