Best Wiring schematic?

scgamecock · Feb 18, 2016

I have the shop manuals on order but I see several manuals specific to my 72 Mustang for wiring. Can someone recommend one of these? The easier to read the better....

Thanks

Wade

One of these or something else????

None of the above. The third is simply a reprint of the Ford Shop Manual. The second is OK, but is missing the connector ID to connector type. The first one is one I have not seen, but is probably like the second one.

The best schematic is the 1972 Ford Vacuum and Wiring Diagram, which covers all Ford cars, trucks and is very readable at 11x17". It is hard to find, though and only used (search e-Bay). The next best is the second listing, but it is somewhat wanting.

+1

I found the 11x17" 73 version on e-Bay and it is a really good manual.

Mine is not in color and is about 25pages. Not sure if the one you show is a single page. Here is a couple of pics, at the bottom and side it shows the connector pin outs and location in the car.

A colorized version came with my CD-ROM manual.

You can download one from here

The colorized one does help when tracing circuits.

Here is where I downloaded my copy. It has colorized wiring, vacuum diagram, vol 3 of the electrical shop manual, and electrical IPB of the master parts catalog in one CD or download. I find it very handy.
