Im putting a 350 in 53 chevy. a friend gave me a wiring harness off of a 69-74 camaro or nova. i wanted to use the harness because it hooks to my motor really. good. i need a wiring diagpahrm if anyone has one from any of the above vehicles. if some one could email me one, if not, could some one send me a typical wiring diapharam that i could hook it from scratch. it is a v8 350 with a electronic distribator with 1 wire. coil and all is self contained. the alternator has one post wiring and a plug in on the side for 2 wires. if i could get some direction i can do the rest. i have electrical back ground in industrial and commerical but not much on vehiciles. thanks for any help someone could give me.

It really is not much wiring involved to make the engine run and charging system opperate.
What you might do is contact one of these wiring harness manufacturers and tell them what you are about to do and they will make you a harness that fits your application and send you step by step instructions for installation.
You could also go and buy a Hanes repair manual for the Camaro and use its wiring diag. to figure it out.

I just made one from scratch, took a fuse block off of an old 70's chevy truck, added a 16 point terminal strip, install all new wiring and made a nice harness that Mr. Drake would be proud of. And saved a bunch of money doing it.

I made up my own wiring harness for my truck. If you don't have loads of extra things like electric windows on your ride the wiring should be quite simple.

BTW here's a diagram of the wiring for your 3 wire alternator. http://i103.piczo.com/view/3/h/b/5/2/u/p/w/0/w/z/t/img/i287317235_31052_5.jpg
