I had to use the existing wiring diagram and the one that came with my rewiring kit.

If you don't have the original then try here.

You can download some aftermarket rewire kit instructions that might also be helpful since they show the most common wire hookups, like GM alternators etc. Of course the colors are different, but the diagrams might help.

Like this one.

 

Yep - you can keep the original wiring harness with changes to accommodate your HEI and Delco alternator. Or you can buy one of the hot rod harnesses (Painless, EZ-Wire, etc) and use the scheme that comes with the aftermarket harness. Up to you.

The HEI is easy. It's a one-wire connect, so you eliminate the coil and distributor from the original diagram, and send the coil hot wire to the new distributor.

For the Delco alternator, later Jeeps used the Delco alternators, so you can look at a later Jeep diagram and copy the way they connect the alternator. Or look for one of the many discussions of Delco conversion on the net, on web pages or in various forums.
