I recently disassembled mine; here's what I have in my notes from my 1972/4. Looking at the plug, where the (O) is the locating pin, no wire, and the O designates the pins with wires:
CODE 2 O (O) O 1 4 O O 3 6 O O 5 8 O O 7 10 O O 9 12 O O 11 14 O O 13 Then I have this for the colors by above pin number: 1: yellow 2: blue, gen 3: grey/pur, back-up lights 4: grey/pur, back-up lights 5: green/brown, oil pressure 6: (empty) 7: black/pur, tach 8: black, keyed +12 ign 9: green/white 10: brown 11: (empty) 12: red 13: black/red 14: red (3,4,5,7,8 were the only wires I was looking for, so that's why they are the only ones above with a labeled purpose) |

Dave, that helps some. thank you. (what were you doing to your car? I think you picked out most of the same wires that I did?)
there are two for the back up lights? Do I wire these two straight to the transimssion? |

Dave, that helps some. thank you. (what were you doing to your car? I removed the engine and installed an electric motor: click here for electric car link, and 3,4,5,7,8 were the only wires I needed off the relay board. there are two for the back up lights? Do I wire these two straight to the transimssion? Well, as I removed the relay board, those two are now connected to my reverse light switch on the trans instead of running through the relay board. Are you trying to re-assemble the relay board, or something more like what I did? |

Blue, Pin 2: Goes from your alternator to the alternator light in your gauge Green/Red, Pin 5: Goes from your Oil Pressure switch to the oil idiot light in your gauge Green/White, Pin 9: Comes from the heater fan switch, goes to relay 55 Green, Pin 11: Comes from relay 55 and goes to the heater fan I can't really tell the other wire colors. Your picture is too fuzzy ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
