The terminator comes without alternator wiring. You need to buy the 20$ 1-wire pigtail to wire to a 12v ignition source. The pigtail has a resistor to reduce 12v to 5v. If you wire it 12v direct, without the resistor it will burn up the alternator. The starter is also wired separately. It's grounded through the body, and the main power is connected directly to the battery lug. Your trigger wire for the bendix can be wired to the 12v out from ignition or a simple momentary switch. The fan wires to a universal 4 pin relay. And you use holley I/O's(inputs and outputs) in this case output. It can ground trigger the relay for the fan at set desired temp. Or 12v trigger the relay at set desired temp. +or- is an option for the output in the software.

You would think for the ridiculous price I paid for this thing it would at least come with the alternator set up. Starting to regret this more and more as I get farther.

Really helpful! Saved video for when my buddy and I start the swap into his G Body, then my G body lol. What I am curious about is how do run the lighting system? And the radio etc. Do I just run the harness as usual then run power to the factory fuse panel? And run everything else off that? My car is gonna be strictly track (I think) but his is for the street. The fuse panel should be fine to run that stuff on its own correct or do I need to run the Holley to it somehow? Thanks! If there’s no reply in a week or so I’ll probably send you guys an email. Thanks.

Will Holley ever have support for the newer transmissions like the 6/8/10L90 transmissions on gen 3/4 motors? I would pick up the terminator in a heartbeat for my project if I could do so. I'm very sick of getting gapped by fords just because the immense advantage having 10 gears has. these 10 speed transmissions are a whole different driving experience.
