If I were installing a new harness I would get one that was set up for the internally regulated alternator and HEI ignition. The conversions are not that hard to do with the stock harness so if you already have the stock harness it's not a big deal.
Get yourself a good wiring diagram and follow it.

Best of all, we'll be here if you need us.
