I need help in setting up a 302 Ford conversion in an MGB. The engine is not in the car yet, it is on a test stand. I am trying to get to an initial start on the stand. I am using a GM HEI distributor with integrated coil, a high torque mini-starter and a GM one-wire alternator. I am planning to wire the + battery terminal to the big lug on the solenoid with 4 ga. wire, run 10 ga. wire from the + battery to the battery post on the starter switch, run 10 ga. wire from the big post on the solenoid to the single post on the alternator.
I think I need to wire the S post on the starter switch to the small post on the solenoid and I was thinking I need to run a wire from the other post on the solenoid to the + side of the coil, using GM pigtail connector (10 ga. wire).
Can somebody help me out here and tell me if this is right or, if not, what do I need to do. Should I use 10 gauge wire?
I don't have a remote solenoid, only the solenoid attached to the starter. Do I need a remote solenoid? Do I need to ground to the block or can I ground to the test stand?
