Minimum wiring needed to start engine
« on: November 23, 2024, 01:29:56 PM »
I getting closer to starting the engine for it's break in period.

What is the minimal wiring needing to do this.  I don't need the lights or anything like that.  That's for later.

I will plug in the Fuel gauge, Volts gauge, Oil pressure gauge, Water Temp gauge and tach. 

I have some wiring already hooked up but wanted to make sure I'm correct.

all you need is starter motor and ignition coil and engine ground
oil pressure and coolant temp would be advisable, which means cluster power and sensor wires

A Camaro looks like it could kick your ass.
A Trans Am looks like it's coming over to do it
