That stuff is all good and clear, I repaired and rerouted the harness when I did the engine swap.

How about pully width? What pulley did you use off the Wee O Five again? I know I read that somewhere in the thread. IIRC, my big block has the wide serpentine type Alt belt, then a standard V belt to the PS pump.

The original '84 305 had regular 'ol v-belts. I'm still using that alternator and pulley. The 454 crank pulley evidently is much larger than the original small block pulley. I guess I didn't think much of that when stuff was getting swapped around.
