Alternator question, battery is discharging quickly.

Really simple Zac, locate the FE-03 connector down by the mess over by the masters.

It's a 6 pin connector on the front harness. It will have a B/W and a W/B wire there. Pin them out to make sure they work properly. If they do, than any sort of connector to jump from the FE-03 connector over to the Alt will work just fine. No need for custom harnesses here, as much as I love them

Thanks Brian! Regardless of whether I find a harness or not, I may do this. Just to clarify things, this is the wire I will run with a 150ohm resistor correct? What about a diode, I read that it's recommended if wired a certain way but I'm unsure if I need this if run to the wire in the connector mentioned. . . Schawry, I schtooped on deez thangz.

Well, this is really more of a want than a need since the thing is in rough shape. There are exposed wire to the transmission connectors, busted connectors, broken wire/terminals at connectors, and unnecessary/unused connectors.

Ok, I just thought of another option here....
Since the harness is fucocked right now, what you could do is re-task the leading coil wires since everything you need is right there
The leading coil (and this is from memory so bear with me) has two wires that connect to it. G/Y and B/Y. The G/Y should be dead at this point in it's life however, the B/Y is off the main relay and will be hot with the key in the start and run position. So, the B/W wire can be used as the key hot with the resistor wired in place. Then since you're right by the battery anyway, you can connect the "sense" wire directly to the M6 bolt on the fuse block.
As a bonus you can replace the charge cable as well

Is your oil pressure gauge and low oil light still functional?

In that case what I would do is take all the connectors off the factory harness and use some Deutsch DTM connectors to replace all the factory ones.

Also, aside from the reverse switch, the other two switchs are no longer needed.

I like this, sounds simple enough!

I'd like to replace the whole thing, everything is brittle.

Pressure, yes but oil level is disconnected.

eh, I'd rather have this done by someone with all the tools and materials already in hand.

True, I didn't have them connected on the last tranny.

30 yo wiring is crispy?!?! Say it isn't so

It should be relatively simple, I can only think of 5 wires you needs. Alt charge, Alt control *2, oil pressure and oil level. They should all be on that FE-03 connector

Welp, you can go here (I've been doing business with Joe for a LONG time) and get the kits of the connectors https://prowireusa.com/c-76-deutsch-...ctor-kits.aspx

Just order them with the solid pins. Then you just need this little guy

There's no need. I just break the wires off at the switch.
