Default Wiring Diagram Help

I've got a couple different wiring diagrams. One supplied by Emerson and the other is a from the chassis service manual, not sure which year. They are slightly different, but close enough. A few things on them I can't find on my car. Can you tell me where these are suppose to be so I can see if I still have them....if not I can ignore some of the wiring through the dashboard connector.

Trans Con Switch
Anti theft hood switch
Hood air door solenoid
looks like a switch on the white wire to the blower motor ground
TCS sol
carb idle stop connector

Not sure what year yours is but, the idle stop solenoid is on the carb , tcs solenoid I believe on the right side of the intake manifold, Hood air solenoid is in the hood, hood anti theft switch should be on the firewall up and to the right of the distributor on a small L bracket.

Default it's a modified '73

I figured out the idle stop, don't have it anymore. I'll take a look for the TCS solenoid, I do have the electric choke, so I'll have to trace some wires. Custom hood and front end...thinking the hood air door and anti theft switch have been removed, but now have a reference place to start looking.

Thanks

Get yourself the diagram from Doc Rebuild, they are color and size coded and show pictures of the actual terminal and switches they connect to. For about $10.00 and laminated, you can't go wrong.
