Re: ok...wiring questions (Ebbsvette)
You could try a Chilton's manual which prolly isn't any better than the Haynes manual or try a GM service manual. The one thing I hate about wiring diagrams is that they are actually a schematic and do not show actual where the wiring runs in the car so it makes it very difficult to track down where a ground attaches or where to get at a specific wire you need to test. My fuel pump is not getting power in my 89 Formula and I have to try and figure out where the wiring runs inside the car before it exits near the gas tank to check for breaks in the line. :banghead:

'Lectric Limited (online) or from the GM Service Manual. These are the same except one is laminated. These are probably the closet you will get to being accurate, altho some errors exist.
Throw away the Haynes or Chilton.... or use them for TP.....

Re: ok...wiring questions (Ebbsvette)
Just finished tracing all kinds of wireing gremlins, and had to use a combination of the GM service manual, NCRS Wireing Guide, and AIM. The manuals show the circut, and the AIM showed the routing. Still...not easy and time consuming.
Good Luck

P.S. The NCRS wire guide was much easier to follow than the GM Manual. Detailed diagrams of accessories too.

Yep, Lectric Limited. Just ordered mine. Bought a complete wiring harness for my '80. Have been told that theirs is the largest (approx. 18" X 22") and is laminated. Paid $12 plus $5 handling (free shipping right now). :flag
