Wiring diagram

My dad supplied me with wiring schematics for most all domestic cars.., however, they are in storage.
My suggestion is to visit a local mechanic, and use a cel-cam to copy the pages, or try the local library.
Another suggestion is to visit a local mechanic trade school. (as my dad is a retired mechanics teacher)
What wires are you looking for? I can see if I can ask him, and get back to you.

Lightbulb

Ground, Illumination, and Ignition. There is no constant lead (orange) cuz it's too old.

The wires should be as follows:

Black = Ground
Yellow = Switched Power
Grey = Speaker lead

Remeber these old cars only had one speaker output and speakers are grounded to the metal they are attached too (Common ground)

To be sure just use a voltmeter and check them

Hope this helps
