I am almost done wiring well rewiring my car with a Painless Universal kit and wonder where do I hook up the Headlight Switch B+ to on the headlight switch? I also have a 3G alt. and need to know where to connect the Alternator exciter wire, and correct me if I am wrong but the Alternator B+ goes to the A terminal in the ASI pigtail. Lastly where is the Brake switch for our cars?

The brake light switch is located at the point the rod from the master cylinder, connects to the pedal... Sorry I can't help with the other questions...

btw...can't that alternator be used as a single wire hookup? If so, just connect the charge wire to the battery and you're done.

You should also consider the crossover pipe...it will sound alot better and run a little better also.

Putting in the painless kit is kicking my arse! Easily the most overwhelming thing I've tried to do on my car. Here are two things I've written and drawn to help myself:

and this drawing for how I plan on getting B+ into the engine compartment and front clip:


Do you have anything you can use to help me figure out which wires go to which connectors on the stock switchgear? Please help if you can via PMs if you don't want to post it here.
