Hello All,
After a few weeks of work, the new engine is in and ready to fire up. In addition, we are moving and my wife packed my wiring diagram. Could anyone verify, the red wire goes to the battery side of the coil. The wire from the distributor goes to the neg side. That is how it is wired now and she tried to start, sputtered a bit, but now won't fire.

Also, I don't remember where the temp sensor is supposed to be. Does it screw into the block sort of right above the starter? The old truck didn't have one that I could see and that's the only place on the new block that I can see to screw one in..
