If you can post up pics of the wires in question, I can tell you what they're for.

Post a thread in the C3 Parts WTB section and ask for the 73 wiring diagram.
Or a thread here in C3 general.
There is a Forum Member, I can’t remember who, that occasionally posts free wiring diagrams from all years of C3’s.
He will drop it in the mail and you’ll have it in a couple days.
You really need one to figure out where all the wiring goes.

Forget about downloading a tiny, OEM, black & white schematic. They're worth exactly what you pay for them!

Spend $50 on a set of these laminated color schematics and you'll thank me the rest of your days.

http://docrebuild.com/oosoez/8973101.html

The seller is a character and makes you jump through hoops just to order them but..... worth it.

Here's the link to the free ones: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...or-anyone.html

The AIM schematic does the job with only a couple of errors on them but the Dr Rebuild color one’s have the wire termination end types and a lot of other good details. Be warned, the Dr Rebuild folks are an odd bunch but their wiring diagrams are worth the hoops you have to jump through for them
