I have received 3 of these diagrams and they are quite useful. I have the assy manual.
I was able to blow them up larger, than the assy manual...(old eyes-lol).
So thanks again!

I realize this is a 'family website' so you'll have to fill in the blanks here.

So, utilizing Papa's wiring diagram, I was able quickly to diagnose a problem with a connector on my 82 CE aux cooling fan.

It's the 'pink' wire... you know how these wiring diagrams go...follow the wire color from margin to margin, page to page until you get to the terminus.

Each margin has the wire color....then repeats on the far side of the page.

I do not know of the origins of these diagrams, but what I do know is, one of two things happened when I was tracing the above pink wire.
#1 Someone was trying (and did!) break the copyright on the diagram. (see below)
#2 The draghtsman who drew the diagram, sans computer, was BORED OUT OF HIS GOURD!

So I'm tracing the wire...pink, pink, pink, pink, P*SSY pink, pink, pink! I swear to god!

Back in the dawn of time I was working a college job as Tech Illustrator for Bentley Manuals in Cambridge MA.
They write the official manuals for VW/AUDI.
My boss comes to me and says...make a tiny little edit in some of these existing illustrations...something barely noticable, so we don't have to pay royalties to the original illustrator. (like make the water pump bolt 2" instead of 1"). {did not sit well with me!}
by altering the illus, it breaks the copyright. see #1 above.

Anyway...very useful service Papa brings. Thanks again!

great story!!! thanks for the thanks...I have sent out 10's of thousands of these diagrams to help fellow corvette owners...you will notice that very few check the thank you finger for my kindness...to this day I still do not know of their origin...I have never thought of infringing on anyone's copyright's...I have just wanted to help

Papa. I have pushed the 'fickle finger of thanks' I really appreciated the INSTANT service you provided.

All caps now...IN NO WAY, WITH NO INFERENCE, DID MY FUNNY STORY MEAN TO SAY YOU WERE DOING ANYTHING WRONG.

I do know patents last for 17 years....we're talking about 30-40 year old drawings not done on computers...some draughtsman did these!

Thank you kind sir! Fan is working a treat! (corroded connector).

Happy easter!

Hal

Dear Pierre....TARGAs are for Porkies...you know that Hugely overpriced VW with the engine in the wrong end.

You own a COUPE'.....not a targa.

Interesting reply where I come from (a land down under where women glow and men chunder cant you here the thunder) a coupe is any 2 door car a targa is a coupe with a removable roof section not to be confused with a rag top or convertable.
