Very nicely done. Next revision add relay #'s, switch #'s. Should make any restoration job a lot easier.

I'm having trouble finding the circuit that feeds the small light that illuminates the choke "decal" above the manual choke knob in the cockpit. Any idea where its at?

Its not on factory schematics but have found out from owners it is wired basically the same as S1 & S2 cars. Green wire from F7 to the sw and green/yellow from the sw to the lamp. It will be incorporated in the above schematic soon.

Very well done. I have seen a # of wiring diagrams and this is the best one I've seen that fits on one page. Does anyone have another way to wire the ignition ballast resistor?

Thanks for the wiring diagram. I moved the Ignition Amplifier and Ballast to the firewall to make room for a much needed mod to the radiator and header tank for our hot hot hot Louisiana summers and used this wiring diagram to get it right. I have put a Self Starter Excitation (Single Wire) Alternator 105 Amp on the air pump mount if anyone is interested in updating their car?

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
