  Same diagrams, haynes have them all. Mostly accurate in
either case, but you sometimes have to interpolate. The haynes
shows "1970" and "1970/71" and my 1970 MGB is somewhere
in between the two.

  BTW they aren't "schematics", they are wiring
diagrams.

  Quite a bit different, and different uses as well. In a nutshell,
schematics are meant to show how circuits work, so things like grounds
are not explicitly wired they just shown as "grounded", power isn't
shown where it is sourced it is just "labelled" where it is
injected and so on.

  Wiring diagrams show where all the wires are connected, even ones
that are schematically redundant.

  I would like to get a "schematic" actually, it would save a bit
of time. I am used to reading schematics so when I see something
like "electric oil pressure gauge reads 20psi without engine
running" I can look at the circuit and figure out what would
cause that. With a wiring diagram, it doesn't show as
clearly how things work, just how they are installed.
