Arch:
I'm doing the reproduction with the wires in color and putting the
numeric codes and the legend that the factory diagram has so that
whether you print it in color or not, you'll be able to trace the
wiring. I'm working from the diagrams in my ZA vintage workshop
manual. Is there anyone who has a late shop manual with a ZB Varitone
wiring diagram who can scan it and send me the scanned image? I want to
be able to show the different options for clock illumination and
trafficators versus flashing lights on a single wiring diagram.
