Default Power to the Car ???? (loom)

Ok so here's something to make you laugh, while i cry......

I'm putting the wirig loom back into my scooby after a complete shell re-spray but am hoping to test this without the engine in place.

1st question i guess.... Is it possible ??

The main lead from the battery conects to the starter motor and the earth obviously earths to the body earthing points, but....

Where does the rest of the wiring loom get it's Juice from ???

What am i missing ???

Thanks
Chris.

Alternator would be anothe good starting point to bump the voltage up a fair bit!

That cant make sense actually as there is no power at the ignition barrel and it needs that in order to start the car to then make the alternator work ....so...where's the missing connection to the power ??????????????
