72 Fastback Wiring Diagram

[Type1234]

I'm looking for a copy of a wiring diagram for my 72 Fastback, preferably something like A3 size that I can pin up on the garage wall. Does anyone know if the wiring diagrams on our site for 72 fastback US are the same as the UK models + my car has a rev counter and I don't see that listed on the diagram.

Thanks
Don

Danny, I had a look at those ones but don't know if the U.S. model has the same wiring.

They are pretty much the same, unlikely to have the elextric fan on a UK car. But ive used those diagrams in the past with no issue. The only thing that might trip you up is dodgy previous repairs. People do all sorts and used incrroect wires ect.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some dodgy wiring repairs, the rest of the car is a catalogue of dodgy repairs. I don't see any wiring for the rev counter but shouldn't be too dificult to figure out.

The rev counter won't be original i don't think
But it's just a signal wire from the coil anyway- There is a way to run it off the OP switch- see Moby/speedy jims instructions on vzi
