Ok so I removed all the wiring from the engine compartment of my 68 Plymouth Satellite because I was going to send it out for paint... Unfortunately lack of funds kept that from happening so I just cleaned her up and doesn't look like it really needed a repaint... I labeled everything and took pictures so I could re-run it with no problem. The problem is my brother lost the camera with the pictures on it and the writing on the tape isn't that great, plus it doesn't help with the routing. I know eventually I could figure it out.

My question is are there any restoration manuals out there that I can buy specifically for a 68 Satellite, gtx, Roadrunner... that would have detailed pictures for something like this? I found one for my 70 Charger but I can't seem to find one for this... It would no doubt be helpful later on too

Thanks in advance,
Atom

There are basically 3 harnesses:
1. Wiper motor - directly to wiper motor.
2. Starter/battery/ft lamps - along lt apron, lamp part goes through the 2nd hole down on rad supt then along upper yoke tabs.
3. OilPSI/coil/washer pump/horn - along tabs on firewall, then along rt apron. Oil PSI is grey, coil is green IIRC & runs along inner/upper valve cover.
The harness plugs only go where intended into the bulkhead plug.
Horn & relay at right ft rad supt baffle.

That definitely helps thanks! I might also take a peak at my pop's 68 4dr Dart's engine compartment... I saw a couple of restoration guides for sale online, I might pickup "Charger, Road Runner and Super Bee Restoration Guide" and the "Original Dodge and Plymouth B-Body Muscle 1966-1970" for reference in other areas... Has anyone bought either of those? Are they any good?

Thanks,
Atom

The "restoration guide" by Paul Herd has numerous errors and incorrect depictions; waste of money. All you need are a few engine compartment pics. My car's a Hemi, so some stuff is different. A-bodies are pretty different. If you can find an original car at a show near you, it would answer a lot of questions.
