I also removed the trunk battery cables and started cleaning up the wiring mess. I noticed that the yellow wire running to the "R" post on the starter was still hooked to the ignition circuit, although it was burned to a crisp and exposed nearly the entire length! You don't need that with HEI ignition! I also don't know why the external voltage regulator is still there, as the previous owner had a newer alternator installed. I'll run the wire bypass as described here. I don't trust anything from the previous owners, so I'm most likely going to pick up a new alternator this week too.
I think I'm ready to slap the motor and trans together, now that I have all the bolts needed, and slide it in to the car. Once they are in, I car pull the rear end, and finish the brakes.
