With the warm weather I've spent the last few days fixing wire connections and removing extraneous wires by the PO. A couple wires have me stumped, hoping for some help from the hive mind.

#1 - I have a heavy gauge red wire that is coming off the alternator, that the previous owner spliced into and ran through the longs to the hot terminal by the fuse box.
  • Is this red wire from the alternator stock? I couldn't find it on the wire diagram.

#2 - The PO ran heavy gauge red wires through the longs to the hot terminal by the fuse box.
  • I do not think this is stock, from what I've read there were no wires in the longs. I've only found reference to the charcoal canister lines in the longs. Could someone confirm whether this is correct or not?
  • If these lines are not stock, then what originally used to go through the hole behind the dash, where these lines currently run? Pic attached for reference.

#3 - I bought some pilot fog lights and went to install them and saw my horns are in the way.
  • Are these horns stock?
  • Before I start tearing more things apart, are there other mounting points to relocate these horns away from the grilles?

Once I get these hot wires figured out I'll feel safer trying to start her and get her back on the road.

Thanks in advance!

I always spread the word about Prospero's Garage. Awesome wiring diagrams for many different cars.... year and model specific.

Looks like they have had a slight price increase. Now $25.

malcolm2 - Funny, I just ordered these a few days ago. Looking forward to getting them.

Oscar - Thanks man, I appreciate the invite. The car is in various states of disassembly. When I get her put together enough to be road worthy I'd be down for a road trip to meet another teener.
