Yup. North American, European, or both? Pdf (will have to be multipage...small scanner, large sheet).

And, yeah, Brad, I'll shoot copies to you as well!

Already scanned and ready. Shoot me a pm with your direct email address and I'll get it out this morning (Brad already has his copies!).

There are differences between the NA and EUR wiring. The addition of the seatbelt warning signals/switches changed some of the pathways with the mid dash switches, and confused the heck out of me...till I remembered my original manual had both diagrams. Once using the NA version, it was far easier to track issues (turn signals, taillights, flasher issues).

There is no difference. The USA stuff was provided as a supplement. Anything any in particular you're trying to diagnose?

I beg to differ there is a big difference... No offense.. I'm building my own wiring harness out of the original. My car is a total custom job with a v6. So having the right wiring diagram is crucial as I want to pull the unneeded wiring out.. 8)

Think whatever you want, but the USA cars and European cars had the same basic harness. The differences were explained in supplements. Combined you'll end up with a "USA Wiring Diagram." It will be as accurate as any FIAT wiring diagram, about 10% of the connectors and wires will be either nonexistent or the wrong color or type. Some of the aftermarket (e.g. Haynes) manuals had their own diagrams, but these are the same guys who had the rotor timed to #1 in their instructions, so be wary of what you're asking for.

The wiring diagram I got from Neil was right on the money.. I did have the Haynes wiring diagram and it was pretty close but I lost it lol! I just need to know what systems the wires were used for so I can rewire the harness for my 4.3l Chevy vortec v6 . I had to remove the starter wires from the driver side and run new ones to the passenger side. Some of the wires are not being used but I'm leaving them just in case I need to add something. My alternator is also fitted with an internal regulator and therefore only had one wire that connects to the battery. Same with my distributor only one wire the power wire. Every thing is simplified in my car. Most of the gauges are mechanical except for the volt meter, air fuel ratio and fuel... I'm also wiring in a tilt column from an 89 firebird and the accompanying wiper motor..

Cheers!
