I am finishing restoration of my 1970, automatic. There are two thin, 20 gage, black wires with pink stipes on my engine harness. Each has its own separate connector. They exit the harness near the firewall at the area between the distibutor and the brake booster and the leads are only a few inches. So whatever they connect to must be close by. I have a wiring diagram from Dr Rebuild. It says one goes to the TCS relay on the firewall, and one goes to the TCS jumper harness connector. Anyone know what the TCS jumper harness is or where it goes? I do have the long green extension harness that goes to the double pronged temp switch on the passenger block. That is part of the TCS circuit I believe. But it is connected to a green wire / connector that is part of the engine harness so I don't think that is the TCS jumper harness. Any help would be appreciated. Steve

The only Black with Pink stripe wires in that location on my own 70 LS5 Manual Transmission are connected together. One with male spade connector, one with female spade connector. They do go down under the brake booster and then tie in to the bulkhead connector. On my 70 LS5 these are not part of the TCS system. Although my solenoid is gone, the relay and other associated wiring are intact. However... there are many TCS differences between year-to-year SB/BB and Automatic/Manual systems. I have the Lectric Limited wiring diagram which has several errors in it. I could not find the Black/Pink wires on the bulkhead connector diagram although they are clearly attached there on my car. For what it's worth, the connector to the TCS solenoid (drivers side) has a Green and Blue wire. The passenger side TCS Relay has 4 wires: a single connector Black, a triple connector Dark Blue, Orange and Purple. The Orange is the power feed from the horn relay post. It starts out as Pink off the horn relay, goes through an inline 30 amp fuse, and is then Orange to the TCS Relay. The factory service manual also appears to be wrong on this... I suspect that is where Lectric Limited procured their diagrams.
