wiring and fuse help

[jonsranger]

Hey guys, i got a 73 302 going in my 90 ranger that came with a 2.9. so right mow i am starting on the wiring, now this being really my first real tear down, when i did it 2 years ago i took out all traces of wiring from the engine bay, the only things left were 3 connectors under the brake booster and beside the steering box, now that i have my enging back in i was hoping to reuse some old wiring and get my lights hooked up, i was wondering if the lights were on a seperate harness that does not go into the computer than everything else?
i am also going to reuse my stock alternator until i can get a 140 amp one, what kind of wiring do i need to do for that to work?
i also have an aftermarket dristributor i think because it is a smaller diameter than most stock ones ive seen, it has points in it unfortunatly but there is only 1 black wire coming out of it, im pretty sure it is power but the black color threw me off a little bit, where does this wire need to go and do i need to put a fuse in line or not, and if so what amperage?
i have a holley with an electric choke on it it has 2 wires coming out of it which is positive and which is negative? does the positive need a fuse?


thanks in advance a lot, and sorry bout how the post is, the only time i ever get wordy is when i talk bout my truck.

Are you using the 2.9 altenator? Just curious. As far as the distributor goes I would suggest looking to get a points eliminator kit.

In my oppinion its a good idea to fuse about anything electrical. If that electric choke shorted out for some reason id want the power to get cut, being on the side of the carb.
