Need more info about whats going on with it now. Igniton and starter wiring easily could be separate from alternator.

well i was gunna go from the dist. to a switch then to the battery.... then from the starter a button or a momentary switch to the battery.... but its running an old school sbc alternator (atleast thats what it looks like)..... and i need it to still be street with lights and stuff..... so i figure hook it up like that but still have to use the key for the accessories.... for the ima have by buddy hook up one cuz he knows what hes doin..... but do you guys think this would work?? (sorry bout bein so bland on the first post......)

Switched power from battery to ign is fine but you cant just go from battery to starter without a nuetral safety switch wired in between the momentary button. It can be done but it wont pass tech at the track and its not a safe thing to do. Wiring these two things should have no effect on your charging system your key switdh will still excite the alt and as long as you have a wire fron the alt to the battery it will still charge.Just check everthing with a voltmeter when you done.
