Wiring Woes
1984TransAmH

Recently, I bought a 1984 Pontiac Trans Am, with the V8 305 H.O., and it has the "H" engine.
I had to replace the Cam Shaft, but also changed out the lifters, pushrods, carb, plugs, wires, ect ect.
Ok, I have everything in the engine put back together, with the execption of the belt accesories (Alt., water pump, power steering pump), but the guy who owned the car before me cut the hell out of all of the wires in the engine. He said he cut all the "emission" crap out: no cats, nothing.
Anywho, I have no idea what goes where, I have the Hayes book, but I'm sorry, I'm not an electrical engineer, and I don't understand the wiring diagrams that they have in there.
Is there any place that you can suggest that I go to find what I need to hook up, electrically?
I mean, I need the electric choke for the carb, the alternator wires, distributer, and whatever else that the engine will need wired to get it to start and run.
(The ONLY wire I figured out was the one for the hood scoop)
Thanks for any help you can give!
