the owner before must have thought that he was a electricion. if someone has a picture of what the wiring under the dashboard and where the radio is that would be really helpful!!!

I don't think this is really what you want...

What you need is Brad Artigue's wiring diagrams, from

Hey - that's look standard - At least you can still make out three separate bundles of wires ?

i hope that i can sort it all out. i have the diagrams. but the only thing is that almost all of my electrical stuff does not work anymore!!!! i blew one fuse and now the only things that work are my left blinkers... any advice?

Trace one system at a time and remember most everything on the later model cars go through the hazard switch. This is yet another reason why the early model cars are the best!

Dont worry, by only making left turns, you can still get everywhere.

That's right Denise, it's not a person's fault if they happen to be born with high intelligence, good taste and discrimination.

I didn't think I should overdo it Mike.
So I also left out: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly,
courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty,
brave, clean, and reverent.
And good looking.
Ron

When i first got my 80 spider. I seen all the wiring there, went through it with antiques wiring, figured out that alot of my wiring was for the power windows (which my car doesnt have). Man i have cleaned up a bunch of the wiring looks alot cleaner.
