78'f250 wiring harness

I have recently purchased a 78'f250 camper special with a rebuilt
390ci under the hood. I want to straighten out the wiring under the hood. I want to reinstall dual batteries and all of the rest of the equiptment that came with the camper special except that the wiring looks like a mess and the haynes manual I bought does not seem to cover it. So can any one tell me where I can get a complete
wiring scematic for my favorite toy.

You know that that 390 wasn't a motor that came in a 78. They were last made in 76. I've found that w/ the miriad of pollution control doodads in those years, that there can be all kinds of strange vaccuum and electrical sensor wires.... who knows?

Hi BigBrownTruck
thanks for the email. I do know that the 390 in the truck is not original. The original engine I was told was a 460. As I was
working on the truck I had noticed that there were a few items
in the electrical system that I did not know what they were. That is why I was looking for a good wiring diagram for the truck. So
I can stop looking at the wiring and scratching my head and saying "what in gods name is that and what does it do. Thanks again and I see you around the site.

My 78 camper special came with a 400. You could try the ford shop manual on CD rom for sale on this site. I would think it would have it in there.
