Re: Brochure labelled Paul Weidner in the photo section???

2001-08-10 by emcman@sprynet.com

Hello All,

I know most but probably not all have a copy of a copy of a copy of a 
wiring schematic. I had both a 4 and 6 that I got from Isabel Chivers 
or Tad. I was wondering if anyone had a clear enough copy to post. I 
sure do not and I imagine it would be of value. I understood the 
wires hooked up but I also had orphans under the dash and it is nice 
to know where they belong.
