Default 1966 wiring diagrams

I have had the '66 Fisher Body Manual and the '66 Tempest Chassis Shop Manuals on the shelf for years and now that I've finally started working on the car and started studying them I realize that neither has the wiring schematics in them. My '68 manual has them included and others I've owned had the prints as well...
So, where are they found for '66?

May or may not be close enough, but the Old Car Manual project has wiring diagrams for 1965. https://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/...ing/index.html

The 66 I think has them but are separated to individual sections. Look in Chapter 12?

If you can't find them I have pics. What specific area do you need?
I'll look and see if I have any full car schematics.

Pages 12-2 through 12-13, Greg. The layout is different from what you're used to seeing in the 68 manual.

Don't know how I missed those. Oops.
Yeah, this is my first experience with the pre '68 Pontiacs and they're definitely different.
Thanks!

I always purchased the 11x17 laminated diagrams from "Classic Car Wiring"....found them easier to use when I'm actually doing the work.

I've seen those but never used them.
By the way, I'm just starting on my '66. Not looking for any particular wiring info, just studying the car in general, sort of getting acquainted you might say...

They are nice to have unless you are color blind

It's a heck of a lot easier to follow than those segmented prints in the '66 shop manual, I'll give you that.. Might just pull the trigger on one.

What the heck, decided to grab one of those prints. Interesting to compare the above photo with the shop manual prints. I see some minor differences in wire colors but nothing that can't be figured out. I like the entire car front to back on one page like that. Thanks for the tip.
