Dennis, you're my hero. Thank you. Next time I'm at a real computer I'll dump that stuff.

Download it to your phone too Matt. Opens nicely in a reader for quick reference.

This is going to be unpleasant. I spent an hour poking around this morning. I also broke down and bought a complete set of factory manuals. I've owned the early stuff and 914 stuff for many years. Now that I've got an IB project it was time. More to follow as I dig into it. I'm just going to make this my electrical project thread.

I'll look next time I go out.
August of 1989 I had just graduated high school in San Mateo, CA. I was working for an auto broker and running around in an RX7.

When I bought my '74 a few years ago, the wiring was a mess. Clifford alarm was tied into everything. Most things didn't work. Took out the seats and steering wheel and put a chaise lounge pad on the floor of the drivers side. Flooded the under dash area with light and spent my days on my back! I bought a laminated wiring diagram on ebay. Best $20 I spent. Easy to follow even with my old eyes.
Good luck,

That's kind of the plan. I was just looking around familiarizing myself and decided the seats need to come out. And the bumper may come off at some point too.

I was an Alpine guy. I think I have 3-4 old Alpine players, an old Sony amp and maybe even an EQ.

Shazam! What a project.
You are welcome to raid my 74 parts car for front section of harness. Or the entire harness if needed. Might speed it up though they are a pain to pull in their entirety.

Wow Jeff, Thats super kind of you. I have no interest in pulling the whole harness. Did that a few times on Subarus. No thanks.
But I will possibly take you up on the front lighting section. Started in on the car in earnest tonight and that section is super hacked. The alarm and stereo is tedious but its largely removing non-factory stuff and patching some splices. When its cut out and just plain missing its another story. I'll post pictures and details in the morning. And a couple questions.

Sounds good. I located another partial wiring harness from a mid-year so I can compare it to pics.

Good Morning,
I managed to get a couple hours in after work last night while my daughter played in the yard. Multitasking. First order of business was to remove the passenger seat. Found amp wiring under there and started ripping it out. I was happily surprised to see the blue when I pulled up the side carpet. We painted the car without a COA and just based on scratches to original we had found elsewhere. The car was on it's 3rd paint job before my guy stripped it. I think we made the right call on color. Then I pulled out that whole center console from a later car (which was originally white!) and cleaned that up a bit. The dilemma I now face is the AC. It actually appears that maybe it was a factory AC car? But this gives me pause. The prodate on this connector for this relay is 1988. And it's just out there in the open in the frunk. Did someone add the complete set up, including wiring, do install a later one into this car? For now, I have started ripping out flapper boxes and accordion hose because it's got wiring all wrapped around it. Unfortunately I also think I may have to remove the gas tank. There's some wiring pinned under the fill pipe from when the painter put the thing back in. Oh well. Car needs new fuel lines too, so why not...

Oops. Forgot my second question in addition to the AC curiousity. Is this for an antenna that someone routed up the windshield pillar and into the headliner? I'm thinking I just tuck it away when I put things back together. I don't want to mess with the headliner since it's nice and solid and not sagging or ripped.

I was slammed yesterday but I did bring home that extra harness. I'm going to compare it to your pics this morning. I bet the AC stuff was added later...
I'd leave the headliner alone for sure.
