Default Looking for wiring harness pics for reference

I'm specifically looking for pictures of the connections on the starter, and any wires back to about the middle of the firewall on the engine bay harness. It's a 76 non a/c car. I'm trying to figure out which wiring bubba modified, and which wiring is from the factory. The more pics the better. Thanks in advance!

Man it sure makes working more difficult where bubba goes at it with whateverl amp cord he had laying around. Best bet is a good diagrams an chase the wire back to something recognizable and go from there. Had to do that several times on my 78. Frustrating and time consuming

The '76 A.I.M. will show all wiring and their routing. If you don't have one, you should get one. It is indespensible for the DIY C3 owner.

I have the assembly manual. It doesn't show me exactly which wires have been modified by bubba. I need pictures of the wiring from someone's engine bay

Bubba once owned my car....I had to aaarrrggghhh unwrap the entire engine bay harness to find every splice/bypass that Bubba made because 1 wire previously melted to a couple other wires....

NOTE: IF you have to unwrap the harness/any harness to make the repairs---DO NOT REWRAP THE HARNESS YET--tie-wrap the wires together in several spots to keep mthem from dangling and drive the car for a week to see if any other problems occur (been there/re-wrapped that---3 times!!!)

Don't know if it will help but I could dig out the box of my 79 wiring harness and lay it out and take a photo, let me know if you want a 79 pic before I start looking for it.

My 81 has a short harness that has a connection at the fire wall, and then goes to the starter. There are two connections on it, one large (for the positive post where the battery cable goes) and a small one for the solenoid. Let me know if pics would help, I'll get them today if you need them.
