Wiring is a piece of cake. :o I recently upgraded the fuse panel on my samurai. It was easy.

Too easy.

I just took the fuses out of it and put 5 amp larger fuses in the original ones place!

Actually using the original wiring harness and things from the jeep. The 355 is brand new/re-done. It was bored 30 over with a mild cam, eldebrock intake manifold, etc. I am running a street rod header on one side and a ram horn manifold on the other due to the steering box. As far as ignition, trying to using the original jeep wiring with an Accel HO HEI. The problem I am experiencing now is there is a dummy key switch and the ignition just keeps turning. I tried to hook the ignition up similar to what it was before but nothing has panned out as of yet. Transfer case is an NP241 from a 3/4 chevy truch. Rebuild. The axles are the original dana 44 in the rear and 30 up front. I will be swapping gear sets once everything is done, possible 60 in rear and 44 up front. The transmission is a bulletproof 700R4 built to handle 1000 hp and is freshly built as well.This will be carberated for now but may run TPI sometime down the road. Cooling is a ***** and is just mocked up for now using a stand-alone transmission cooler and the original jeep radiator for now. Just trying to get this thing running correctly and then having the drive shafts made. I am going to try to run a long-arm lift once everything is on and running correctly.

So all in all, I think all the wiring I need help with is the ignition. The original guages in the car besides the tac and speedo (oil, temp) have been modified to work with the original fittings.

check out the silonoid (on firewall or fender) there should have been one for the chrysler engine but you do not need it on the GM starter .

You are talking about a 350 chevrolet engine ????
