I'm curious which 71 wiring diagram you found in error. Was it in the repair manual or was it an aftermarket version?
It was the main wiring diagram in the factory 1971 service manual. I collect tons of factory literature so I have every service manual and TSB binder from 64-74 so had the 72 service manual to look at to which showed the change they made to the headlight harness wiring diagram that apparently wasn't updated in time of the publication of the 71 book. Since 71 and 72 have identical headlight/turnsignal and sidemarker designs it's obviously a manual error that maybe everyone knew about back in 71 but 50 years later, it's now tribal knowledge lost to time.
