Default Color Coded Wiring Schematics

Some time ago I read on this forum about color coded wiring schematics that were laminated and available for Corvettes.
I received mine today and want to confirm that this is a great product especially if you are going to do any kind of electrical work or debugging on your Vette.
It is much larger than the one in the AIM or shop manuals and the color coding makes life so much easier.
I do not have any affiliation with the person who sells this, I'm just a satisfied customer.

Well worth the price of $31.50 which included shipping cost

I forgot to mention it also includes a complete vacuum diagram for the vacuum lines and also lists the various fuses and their ratings. Size is approximately 2 feet wide by 3 feet long.

The diagrams are US $31.50 INCLUDING shipping by UPS to the 48 contiguous states - cash, check, money order, or PayPal

Each diagram is about 22x34" and includes ALL electrical options, fuses/circuit breakers (and their ratings), lamp numbers and locations and vacuum lines for the headlamps, heater-a/c, and for the early C3s the windshield wiper door
