Does anyone have some pics of what wires go where? I've looked at the schematics at advancedautowire.com and still cannot make heads nor tails of this mess.

Thanx.

Do you know if a 74 is the same as a 74 1/2? If they are the same, I'll get some pictures tonight?

Lights should be the same as 74 but some things are like 75

I'll be watching this one. My headlights and taillights work, but only the LEFT side marker lights work. Neither the right front nor right rear side marker lights work. And I can't for the life of me figure out where the flasher installs.

Fingers crossed for photos. Mine is a 1980, so hopefully I can learn something relevant.

The flasher cube mounts in a bracket that is behind the glovebox on the firewall. Non-functioning sidemarkers sounds like a bad connection or grounding problem. The wires should be doubled up with the tail light wires for each side.

Hope these pictures help. On the sides, the green wire to the lower lamp is connected to a green/orange wire through the connector, the green/purple wire to the top lamp is connected to a green/white wire through the connector, and the black wire to the side marker connects to two black wires through the connector.

Hope these pictures help. The wire colors going into two of the the connectors on the sides are different from what come out. Green/white in - green/purple out to top rear light, green/orange in - green out to bottom rear light.
