Shoot I think cp performance has a full diagram of the wiring. I'd suggest to Google bbc or bbf or bbo jet boat wiring diagram. Pretty sure you'll find something. Print it and check it wire by wire. Old cracked dried wires should be replaced. Easy business. Good luck.

Main hot from the battery goes in one side, then out for the hot to the terminal block. And yes, you need to run that circuit breaker. It's the only protection in the whole system.

The hot on the term block must go through that breaker first. its labeled batt but it goes through the breaker to the batt to protect the system in the event of a short.

Top side of what? After the hot goes through the breaker and back out to term block it'll feed main hot up to your dash wiring

Ok so I assume you have a single wire alternator then? Looks like they're using the alt spot on the block for hot feed.

The actual alternator you are using, does it have 1 wire? Do you have an amp gauge or volt gauge on the dash?

Also, How many wires are there in the harness before the term block? Should be 7 or 8.....

#1. Red/Pink 10ga (Constant Hot)
#2. Black 14ga (Ground)
#3. White 10ga (Start Solenoid)
#4. Orange 10ga (hot for alt. and amp gauge, not used if running volt gauge)
#5 Purple 16ga Ignition hot (Key on) For dist. or elec fuel pump
#6 Gray 16ga tach signal
#7 Blue 16ga Oil press signal
#8 brown 16ga Temp sender signal

My numbering order may differ from actual diagrams, but you get the idea.
