'70 442 Wiring Harness Installation

I am getting ready to install my new underhood wiring harnesses ...

I would like to find an online assembly manual while I'm at it I will pull the

fenders to finish the bodywork on them and I will replace the heater core.

I also would like to detail the engine compartment and I need the paint code

[ flat black, semi, gloss] for underhood pieces ...

I'll give you my 2 cents on wiring....pain in the butt. I replaced the fusebox in my 1972 Cutlass, and I had 3 different service manuals, wiring diagrams off the internet, and finally the GM wiring books, and it was still irritating. Granted, my car was had 3 decades of hackjob wiring, but I still got conflicting information when comparing the different sources. My advice is unless you are rewiring front to back, and don't care too much about keeping the wiring "stock" looking, get at least a couple of different sources. Become very efficient with circuit testers which will save you a ton of time, and clear your schedule, and take your time.

GM Black

I went to the local auto paint supply shop and just asked for GM Black. If you do not trust them go some were else. I went in and asked a lot of questions and they have sold me $$$ worth of supplies over the course of six months. Black: I used OMNI AU MBC9300, Shor-line JR506 Reducer. It is mixed 50/50 with 25-27 psi at the tip.

color wire map

I forgot. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-...mZ360090963669

I got one for my 72' It really helped, but one wire was going to the wrong place. It was obvious by the different colors red and pink joined at a point, something like that, but I figured it out and everything worked out great. It is easy to read. Maybe the 70' is closer to exact.
