Engine Bay Nightmare

I need some help sorting out my engine bay nightmare in my 1973 Charger.
While I'm not looking for a concours quallity restoration, the previous owner swapped out the 400 for a 440 and left everything electrical hanging. The coil, the ingnition transistor, the ballast resistor etc are just hanging loose, which can't be right and is probably unsafe.
Can any one send me pictures of a properly detailed engine bay or direct me to an assembly manual picture? I have the 73 shop manuals but they are not much help
Thanks
Vic

Thank You

Get a Factory Service Manual (FSM) you will never regret it!  :2thumbs: (Bishko Books is a good source.)

I think you can get reprints at a Dodge dealer too, no?  For sure the cd-rom version is there.

One of the fist things I bought was a service manual.  Its just that the pics arent the best.  Coil position for example. all pics have it hidden behind the A/C compressor

Just ask. Are you having a hard times knowing what wire goes where ?

nge

Yes!. I need  to find out what wire goes where, and were the electrical components are attached.  The P.O. did a rush-job.
Are there any mopar assembly manuals out there?
