Here is how I wired my car.
What I did was hooked up a battery and figure out which wires were for the lites. Then I took the rest of the wiring out including the computer. I moved my battery to the back and ran a 1 gauage welding cable to the starter. I got a power box from the parts store, which is one power wire from the battery to the box and places to put fuses in to run power from (I ran a 10 gauge wire from the battery conection at the starter). Then I ran power from the fuses to my ignition, electric fan, electric water pump and electric fuel pump to toggle switches on the dash. My starter I hooked up to a push button. For my altenator I took a regular Altenator and jumped it to make a 1 wire. I simply hooked that to my power wire in my power box and my battery charges.
I also have a master shut off in my possitive wire to the starter.
My car is a drag car and this works for me but it is a personal choice as to which way you want to go. I like this because I took a box full of wires out and left it less cluttered under the hood.
