Electrical Diagrams

I'm curious to know if anyone could reference me to some complete wiring diagrams for a 1979 Dent. I found a few on the site and other places on the internet, but I would like to find a some diagrams that tell the whole story, not just the typical Chilton Manual Hoo-Blah.

This page gives an example (only just an example) of what I am talking about.

I'm interested in pictures that show what connector does what and where it's location is supposed to be. My wiring has been severely hacked and many connectors no longer have homes, and many electrical accessories are gone.

If you can find a set of original Ford service-manuals, they can't be beat. They're a 4-book set and contain EVERYTHING you will ever need to know about ANY dent. Probably going to be an eBay item.

The factory service manuals are great. I have a set and use them constantly...BUT, they don't have wiring diagrams in them. Ford had a separate publication for the wiring diagrams.

I didn't know they were separate! My '76 service manuals have diagrams in them - they're not "extensive" wiring blueprints but they tell you what the connector pins correspond with, and what color wires to look for.

If you go to the link I posted above you'll see what the factory diagrams look like. Extremely detailed, showing what each connector does and where it's located.
The diagrams go from left to right, front of the vehicle to the rear.
