Default 71 engine wiring diagram HELP

Hello everyone,

My assembly manual has been driving me crazy tracking down the TCS system. I found this article from NCRS RMC that the assembly manual is WRONG!!!!
http://www.ncrsrmc.org/Downloads/Mar...Newsletter.pdf

They have the corrected diagram from the May 1971 Chevrolet Service News, but I can't see the damn thing in the pdf file.

Would anyone know where to get the correct diagram???

Thanks,

Hunter

what do you mean "I can't see it"?
If you can't open the document all you need to do is download Adobe Reader. If you mean the document isn't clear I might be able to help. I have software to crack a PDF and I may be able to pull out the pieces you need.

Sorry about that. I can see the document but the diagram scan is so poor in the document that I can't see the detail in the schematic

Hmmm, that didn't work. The drawing in the newsletter came out as an all black square.
I'll keep futsing with it

For me "zooming in" just makes the detail worse, not better. Do these two attachments help any?

I believe my electrical diagram to be accurate, but if you find a '71 engine wiring diagram that has been "corrected" could you please post it for all of us '71 owners to share?

Thank you. These seem to be the same as in my assembly manual. I had no luck trying to clean up what they had in the NCRS newsletter. I will email them and see if I can get a copy to post

This brings up another question......does a 71 base motor 350 have a TCS temp switch in the passenger side head or does it feed off the temp switch on the drivers side?

Do what I did, take your AIM, copy the wiring diagram pages. You'll notice an ajoining page legend on the bottom of each page. Match up the pages and cut them to fit. Tape the whole thing together and wala, you have a huge wiring diagram.
