I have an insulated green wire coming out of my alternator wiring. Where should it be connected please. I bought this 72 about 4 weeks ago. It hadn’t been driven in 9 years. I’ve been pulling it out of hibernation.
Thank you,
I have a tan wire into the brake line distribution block per the schematic. Your schematic shows a 2nd tan wire.......where does that go? It’s not shown.
I feel like an idiot continuing to ask.......I had this engine torn apart just 10 days ago. It had been in storage for 9 years, and only driven 800 miles in the last 36 years (documented). I truly am pulling it out of hibernation!

Yes it still has the original heat shielding on it. That is the original wire . But as said it may have been replaced by the tan one at some point in time . Look for the tan piece that maybe spliced back into the green at some point .

Ask away, we've all been there.
I saw your other post that is focused on the second tan wire and attached Willcox Corvette's '72 wiring pic over there. The tan wire from under the wiper motor is really just exiting the main harness under there and doesn't come through the firewall at that point. It's for the carb idle stop solenoid that is on the front accelerator side of the carb. Your car may no longer have this part installed - my '72's is missing too. It closes the throttle plates to prevent run-on dieseling.
Okay I am getting my steel cities grey car repainted now I could use some pictures of original color please Personal email is hadenough@earthlink.net. Thanks so much. Much appreciated if you could send some or a link to get them Kevin
I could have posted mine but it's not as pretty/clean/spotless/etc.
