The pink wire goes to the dir. sig. flasher, the green wire runs off the page i would guess it goes to the b/u lights.

You may be able to intercept them where they go thru the firewall plug - about 4" from the top of the firewall over the clutch rod port and to the center a bit. On a 69 the mechanical tac cable shares that plug, but your's may have an electrical tach - I dunno. But, if you have a mechanical tac, follow the cable to the firewall plug, and you'll find the backup light wires that run to the trans switch.

Default Thank you all

The diagram was great. A 74 does have a mechanical tach and I'm still working on a birds nest. Thanks again
