70 hose/ harness routing

[Dennis D.]

One thing I always noticed about the 70 hose/ harness routing was it has a big loop midway back. Seemed due to lack of harness clips which was corrected in 71, along with the vacuum piping across the firewall to clean all that up.


I bought an assembly manual at the NCRS booth at Carlisle, (thank you guys), since this old mind forgets where my other one is. This page in the manual shows all the aforementioned things I thought were 71. So is this a mistake?

Dennis,
Notice in the title block that drawing was "redrawn and redesigned" on 2-5-70. So it would have the later wire and vacuum route. There is an earlier drawing (Note the revision number 4, but the lack of earlier revision numbers on this drawing).

I may have an earlier drawing in my collection, but I am packing for the Caravan to the Museum for the 25th anniversary, and will be off to that directly from work tomorrow. If no one else has an earlier drawing that they post in the next week, I will look upon my return after Labor Day. There is no guarantee I have the earlier drawing, but I will look. The earlier drawing may also be in the 1969 AIM, so some good Samaritan might look there for you.

In the mean time, you may wish to look in the 1970-72, 6th Edition TIM&JG, Page 195, Fig M24.4 for the early version. The text on Page 194 & 195 also addresses this issue.
